Don't have a lot of time for some of the clergy but this man had spades of humility and character.
He selflessly agreed to do my mothers funeral service less than two years ago despite not being all that well himself and even found the humor to joke about doing a bit of his own preparatory ground work on top of the hill.
RIP Kieran Rice, your life is celebrated and revered by those it touched

Thank you Father Rice for your friendship towards our family over the last 50 something years ( marrying Mum and Dad, my brother and myself ) and all the work that you have done in Foxton, Shannon and around the area, you will be sourly missed .. God Bless .

Back in St Pat's days of the 1970's when we parents would get a bit embarrassed about our children being noisy in church, Fr Kieran would say kindly "Don't you worry about that at all. Let the little children come. It's their church and they've got as much right to be here as anyone." To me, this memory speaks for itself of the big gentle man with an even bigger heart full of God's love for us.

My deepest sympathy to all Kieran's family and many friends.
