Very sad to learn of the passing of Fr Thomas Mc Govern,was blessed on many many occasions by his talks at the monthly recollections and his advice and council.His several books were also a challenging read. May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace Fr Tom. An absolute gentleman and friend to many in Monkstown and beyond. A man of great faith and encouragement. Never forgot his Sligo roots.

To Dympna, Phil, Sheila, Enda and the extended McGovern Family. Deepest condolences on the very sad death of Rev Father Tom. I grew up in Ballymote with him. He was a gentleman of the highest calibre and a brilliant academic and scholar. May his dear gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
