Tributes have been paid following the death of an Offaly born priest who spent over 20 years working in Africa.
Fr Paddy Reedy C.S.Sp., a Spiritan (Holy Ghost) priest from Birr, has died. He was aged 89.
Born in 1931, he was one of a family of five girls and four boys of Helena (née Talbot) and John Reedy of Connaught Street.
After completing his Leaving Cert. with the Presentation Brothers in St. Brendan’s in his home town, he began his training for the priesthood and was one of over 30 of his congregation ordained in 1958. By then he had got his degree from UCD.
