Father Mahoney was a ray of light when I use to go to Holy Name as child. He was smart and wise beyond his years, and always willing to answer a question I had. You made the world a better place and that I am truly grateful. God be with you always and thank you for your service to God. Amen

With the diocese of Fall River and the Mahoney family I celebrate the life of a wonderful priest who never wavered in his commitment to serve the people of God. Through seminary and ministry, I have always admired the dedication of this fine man of God. May he rest in peace for all his good works. We will miss the sense of his presence among us. I join in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the respose of his soul. May God smile upon my classmate.

To the Family of Father Mahoney,
Please accept my sincerest sympathy on the loss of such a wonderful man. As a former teacher at Holy Name School I have so many fond memories of the times I shared with Father and was always so impressed with the way he interacted with our students. He brought a smile to every childs' face each afternoon when he came to school to wish them all a great day. He was always ready to high-5 the youngest and oldest students alike as they made their way toward dismissal. It was a pleasure and a honor to work with such a humble man. He will be greatly missed.

Please accept our sincerest thoughts and prayers. Fr. Mahoney married us twelve years ago this month. He shared in one of the happiest days of our lives and will always hold a special place in our hearts.
May God Bless Him.

To the family of Fr. Mahoney,
I was introduced to Fr. M when I began my fifth grade at Holy Name School in Fall River, MA. He was a spiritual man with a great sense of humor. I recall my classmates and I looking forward to that one hour a week he would relieve our teacher of religion class. May he rest in peace. God bless!

It is with sadness that I heard of the passing of Fr. Frank. He was a caring and wonderful priest. It was a pleasure to work for him as principal of Holy Name School and he was always there for me both personally and professionally. He will be missed.
