TRIBUTES have been paid to a former Yoker priest who died in Argentina last week.
Father Frank Kennedy - who retired to the South American country last year - was the parish priest at St Brendan's in the area, where he engaged regularly with the Clydeside shipyards and their workers.
His reflections on the shipyards were published in a title called 'God's Working World'.
Colleague, Father Willy Slavin, parish priest of St Simon's, Partick, told the Post: "This little booklet is still treasured by many in the Justice and Peace movement.
"It was his involvement in Justice and Peace that took Frank to Argentina as a kind of one man mediator after the Falklands/Malvinas conflict.
"For this reason while working as a parish priest in Mar del Plata and later further south in the port of Quequen, he accepted an invitation also to lecture to the cadets in the Naval College in Buenos Aires."
A Requiem Mass was recently held in memory of Father Kennedy who is survived by his sister Mary.
