From Father Ian Buckmaster, Provincial of Ireland.

Nous avons le grand regret de vous annoncer le décès

With regret we inform you of the death of our confrère

Father Patrick Houlihan.


Patrick Houlihan died to-day at 05.20am this morning, the 20th February 2007. His death was very unexpected. He was in Hospital for a hip replacement and was making slow but sure progress.
It would seem that he had an embolism on the lung but that has to be confirmed
by a post-mortem examination.
His funeral will probably be on Friday 23rd February.

Remember Pat in your prayers and all of those who are grieving for him.

At the age of 85 years of which 61 of missionary life
in Zambia, in Malawi, in Great Britain and in Ireland
