Forney Messenger
June 1954

 

Aughnacliffe, County Longford Ireland — Mrs. Mary Brady, died here on June 11 (1954).

The mother of seven girls and six boys, she had the happiness of them all being alive to cheer her alert old age.

Two of her boys are priests of the diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth; both are pastors in Dallas. The elder, ordained for Dallas in 1923 is the Right Reverend Monsignor John P. Brady, pastor of St. Edward’s Church. He was with his mother here when news came that he had been named a Domestic Prelate by Pope Pius XII. Her other priest son in Texas, is the Rev. Francis Brady, ordained in 1932. He is pastor of St. Augustine Parish, Dallas.

The ocean will not separate her from their Masses for her.
