His former parish in Tipperary send 95th birthday wishes to priest in Dublin

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS

The parish extend birthday wishes to former curate of New Inn and PP Walkinstown, Dublin, Fr Denis Foley.

Denis Foley came to New Inn in February 1968 as CC and served there until July 1982 when he was transferred to Walkinstown, Dublin as Parish Priest.

While in New Inn he pursued two great passions in his life. He was the owner of two hunter horses and a kennel of award-winning purebred dogs and was regularly seen astride his silver Hunter or walking his large pack of Afghan Elk and Wolfhounds.

However, his recreational interests never interfered with his pastoral work. His dedication to caring for the elderly, the lonely and the sick, quickly gained him the respect and affection of the parishioners of New Inn/Knockgraffon where he still has to date many long-standing friendships.

We wish him good health and happiness as he enters his 95th year.
