We were all very sad to hear of the passing of Fr. Bluett this morning. He was a gentleman loved by all and had a great sense of humor! We will miss him dearly here in Ardpatrick. We offer our deepest condolences to all his family and friends. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam 🙏

Very sad to hear that Fr Tony Bluett has passed away. Beloved by all he will be sadly missed by old and young. So gentle and yet so supportive and positive an impact he has had on our community, it is hard to imagine an Ardpatrick without him. Rest in peace Fr Tony.
