Our beloved Msgr. O'Callaghan will be greatly missed by parishioners in St. Peter & Paul Parish in New Braunfels, Texas. He was the pastor of our church when our family moved to the New Braunfels area in 1996. His kindness, Irish brogue and gentle smile were endearing to his flock and his love for our Lord guided his life and ours.

We have been blessed to have had many church pastors over the years, and Father O'Callaghan was one of those who touched your soul and your heart...

I am very sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort be with you during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. My heartfelt condolences to the family during this time of sorrow. (1Corinthains 15:26) (Isaiah 61:1,2) Please find peace in knowing that He understands your grief and He cares. 1 Peter 5:6,

Our sincere sympathies on the passing of Fr. Paddy. He will be missed by all who knew him, his family, his parishioners, his fellow clergy. May God be at the gates of paradise with open arms to welcome you home. RIP
