Fr Des Broderick,
Glasgow’s oldest priest has died, just days before his 100th birthday.
Fr Des Broderick, a hugely popular pastor, had lived in retirement at Nazareth House for 34 years after a life of ministry which saw him serve in parishes across the Archdiocese.
Throughout his retirement Fr Des continued to help out at parishes across the Archdiocese and acted as spiritual director to countless individuals and prayer groups. His simple and profound devotion to Our Lady, his infectious smile and his gentle manner won the hearts of all who came into contact with him.
Requiescat in pace.
Funeral Mass at St Andrew’s Cathedral, at 1.00 Thursday 2nd May 2024
