Dominic HESLIN Obituary

Sincere sympathy to the relatives of Fr Dominic on his passing. From the Heslins,Drumcauskeen, Ireland

Father Heslin I can remember you from many years ago when you were parish priest in Woodville. I would have only been about 9 or 10 years old. Your Irish accent fascinated me. I really enjoyed listening to your sermons. I can remember you coming for tea at our place. You were very brave as there were six of us very rowdy children! Rest in peace. Ginny Johnson.

Rest In Peace Fr. Heslin we will always remember you in our Prayers.

Deepest sympathy to the Heslin on the passing of Dominic R.I.P

Dominic was the reason and motivation for myself entering the seminary in 1974. We used to write to each other often. Dominic was a young assistant priest at St Joseph's Levin. I was a student there for 8 years. He taught me to be an altar boy. He coached my rugby team. He often visited our house to socialise with my mum Mollie OFlaherty and my dad Eric Martin. He taught us religious education. So he was very influential in my life. He was a role model for me and I wanted to be like him. Dominic, I'm sure you played a big part in influencing many Catholics in every parish you served in. Thank you for your service to God and to us. All my aroha and gratitude for a life well lived.
Dion Martin

One of the truest, kindest people I ever knew. Father Dom supported me so much with the loss of my son. RIP Dom

Father Heslin used to come out to Kumeroa School to give us Religious Instruction, and was the parish priest at Woodville church - this is going back many years ago. He became a family friend. We all have very fond memories of him. Rest in peace. From the Kiernan Family.

Very sorry to hear of Fr Dom's death. He was a good kind priest. May he Rest In Peace.

We have fond memories of Father Dominic from our years of living in Whanganui and attending Mass at the wee church in Whangaehu. Father Dominic was a fine priest, a personable man with a lovely sense of humour, and the ability to deliver homilies which got one thinking! Rest in Peace Father Dom.
