t is with deep sorrow that the Catholic Diocese of Northampton announces the death of Deacon Michael (Mick) O’Leary, who passed away peacefully this morning at 3.10am at Cliftonville Carehome, Northampton.

Deacon Mick faithfully ministered in the parish of St Patrick’s, Duston, sharing his love for the Lord through his service, compassion, and dedication to parish life. His presence, guidance, and pastoral care touched countless lives, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

We hold Deacon Mick, his family, friends, and the parish community in our prayers at this time. May he now rest in the eternal peace of Christ, whom he so lovingly served.

The Diocese will provide further details regarding funeral arrangements in due course.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
