Dear Mulvanity Family,

As a Mulvanity, from NH, I felt very proud to read of all the kindnesses of this priest. Since my father James Francis Mulvanity Jr. passed, when I was 5, I never met most of my father's family..as he was the only child of James F. Mulvanity Sr and Nora Nute Mulvanity. Another priest named Francis Craighton Mulvanity is buried with my father and grandfather, at St. Patrick's cemetery, in Hudson, NH.
Do wish I had met this wonderful man.

Dear Don and Father Mulvanity's entire family,
After leaving St Christine's in Euclid and starting a "folk group" (guitar mass) at St Paul's in Euclid, your brother was so appreciative of our service. We were just kids. Probably 18 years old and younger. I remember that he asked my mom, Margaret, "what can I do for the kids in the guitar group, I really want to thank them." It just so happened that. Donny and Marie and the rest of the Osmonds were going to be performing at "the...

Dear Don:
I was so saddened to learn just today of Fr. Francis' passing. All the wonderful memories we share of golfing at Vinks, heading to DQ in Kirtland, and many other times playing baseball at Browning! His good humor, thoughtfulness and encouragement were very instrumental in my decision to go to Borromeo, and pursue religious studies. There was never a time I didn't enjoy being with you and Frank. Your friendships are important treasures of my younger life. Thank you, Father...

Rest in Peace my dear old boyhood friend. Will meet again in the after life.

Don, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We had so many years of wonderful memories in Rye with both of our families. Thinking of you.

Frank,
One of my best nights as a youngster was with you on graduation night in June of 51.
You probably kept me out of trouble. Your dedication to mankind will always be with me.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Donald,
So sorry that I am out of town and can't make the funeral. I treasure the friendship our families--Toomey and Mulvanity -- have. Francis was a great person. He was a great baseball player. Prayers are with you and your New Hampshire. Relatives. Allan is away from SC but I will let him know.for Francis, may the roads rise to meet him... And may God.hold him until we meet again.

I was terribly saddened to learn of the passing of Father Mulvanity. He was a true steward of Christ. I was blessed to have known him while a music minister concurrently at both St. Robert Bellarmine and St. Paul parishes. He was intrinsically kind, genuine and humane, truly caring about the welfare of all people. He also had a seemingly endless reservoir of wonderful humor. A joke from him could brighten anyone's day. His presence and ministry will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers...
