Father Joe
Morris [1928-2009]
Father Joe Morris
was born on 23rd December 1928 in
Greencastle, Co. Tyrone. He had four
brothers and two sisters. He was educated
in Greencastle P.S., C.B.S. Omagh,
St Columb’s College, Derry,
and St Patrick’s College, Maynooth.
He was ordained on 4th April 1954
in the Chapel of St. Columb’s
College, Derry.
His first appointment was to Aghyaran
near Castlederg and he ministered
there from 1954-1961. He first came
to Inishowen in 1961 as curate in
Carndonagh. In 1964 he was transferred
to Clonmany, where he spent 32 years—24
as curate and 8 as Parish Priest.
He came to Culdaff in 1996 as Parish
Priest and retired in 2004. He spent
his final years in retirement in the
Parochial House, Bocan.
In his homily at Fr Joe’s funeral,
Fr Michael Canny, a native of Clonmany
parish, who had known Fr Joe all his
life, summed up his life as a ‘Silent
Presence’. But it was a powerful
presence that touched the lives of
all he encountered, especially in
times of great sadness or distress.
We all have special memories of him.
But none will forget his signature
theme ‘Live in peace and harmony
with your neighbour.’ It is
a life challenge.
The community of Culdaff and Clonmany
offer their deepest sympathy to his
sisters and brother, his nephews and
nieces, and his faithful housekeeper,
Margaret.
May eternal
rest and peace be his.
