I have only just discovered that Monsignor Des died last year. My sincere sympathy to all the family. Mons Des was a genuine, kind person who knew how to relate well to his parishioners and whose homilies were memorable.

I was thinking about Father Des and looked him up only to find he had passed away. I would like to send my condolences and to say what a wonderful inspirational person he was to me and my family especially when our 5 year old daughter passed away after her battle with cancer. He enriched our lives and those around us. RIP
