Paul Anselm Hynes OP

Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of Irish Dominican Paul Hynes. Paul died in Dublin on June 1, 1985. He was 51.

There is a saying in the Order that all good Dominicans die in their 40s, at least so said the novice master, who was in the job in the mid 1960s. He is still alive.

Paul Hynes was one of the shining lights of the Dominicans in Ireland.
