God Bless You Father O'Shea! Thank You for All You have done in helping me find my Family Roots in Ireland and for your Continued Support throughout these Years!
Amazingly, we found out that my G-G-Grandmother (Surname "Buckley" from Mourneabbey) was from a family related to you.
Your kindness and prayers have helped us sustain adversity and gave us hope to never give up! We truly Loved You! Rest in Peace! Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

Father Sean was related to my mother's family from Doneraile, Cork. I looked forward to speaking with him about our DNA connection; sadly he died before I had the chance. Rest in peace, Father Sean, my cousin.

Rest in peace Father O'Shea. I have fond memories of your great sense of humor.

God Bless You, Special Friend. I will miss you. Your gentle way of offering hope, will always be my inspiration.

Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done.

We bless and thank you Father O'Shea for your years of service and dedication to helping children and families strengthen their faith and Light. I have many fond memories of you - and one of my favorites is you playing kick-ball and laughing with us (students) during recess at Holy Cross School. Thanks for the joy and education that you brought us. Blessings & Light. Gretchen Downey

Rest In Peace, Fr. O'Shea. You touched our lives deeply over the past 25 years. Your special gift of comforting the ill and dying blessed our family. Although it was late in the evening and you were retired, you rushed to our home when our loved one with a brain tumor was convinced she was dying one night. Your prayers and attention calmed her down and, when she died about a month later, you were the first one at the funeral home to pray. You blessed many people!
