Obituary

Michael Fahey nSJ

It is with sincere regret that we chronicle the death of Michael Fahey, which took place at the Jesuit Novitiate, Tullabeg, February 1st, 1919. It was only in September, 1917, that Michael came to Mungret, but in the slıort time that he spent in our midst he had endeared himself to all his fellow-students. Last January he joined the Society, and commenced his noviceship at Tullabeg. Possessed of exceptional abilities, he gave promise of a most useful career as a member of the Society of Jesus. But death intervened, dispelling the high hopes that had been entertained by all who had known him intimately. He was buried in the cemetery of his native town of Castlebar. To his bereaved parents we tender our sincere sympathies in their great sorrow. RIP
