It is with some sadness that I’ve learned of the death of Fr Francis McKenna, one of my former colleagues in Swansea. His funeral homily is on the Belmont Abbey website. It rings very true to my experience of him. He had a great sense of fun and, in the words of one of his students, an acerbic wit.
Go with God, Francis. It was a privilege to have known you.

I heard not long ago myself. Prayers for Francis’ repose and the comfort of those that knew him. A lovely man.
