Mervyn McGETTIGAN Obituary

Father McGettigan was a great friend to the Graham family, previously from Clinton and latterly Dunedin. He is fondly remembered by our extended family and friends as a man of great compassion and faith.
Our thoughts are with his family.

Father McGettigan was great solace to our mother when our Dad died at the age of 34 years in 1979. Fr was the priest at Tuatapere parish, St Theresa's. He visited our house often in the eyar after Dad died, bought boiled sweets for my siblings and I and was always extrememly kind and reassuring. I often think of him at this time of the year as our Dads anniversary is 18 Nov so I was sad to read of his passing. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Fond memories
Much loved by the Brown family
Invercargill
Enjoy your retirement good and faithful servant of The Lord

Fr Merv I remember clearly the times you visited us while you were studying at Holy Cross. Since then our paths have crossed so often, what an inspiration you have been in my life in my walk with Jesus. Rest in peace faithful servant of God.

It is with sadness that we read of the passing of our late Dad's (Ron Brown) cousin Mervyn. Dad spent a lot of time over the years visiting Mervyn when he was in Nightcaps and many other places. Dad will be pleased to be reunited with him in Heaven .
Love from Wendy and Robyn Brown.

My condolences for Mervyns passing to read his obituary took me back to St Gerard´s school plus my friendship with Joan I remember Nola as a fun loving person but devout

I thank M McGettian

I thank God for your priestly service and i pray: "Lord, you gave your priests the privilege of a holy ministry in this world. May Merv rejoice forever in the glory of your kingdom."
Mervyn you were such an inspiration. You never changed over the many years I knew you.
May God Hold you in the Palm of His Hand.
