Rev.msgr. Kavanagh

Monsignor Cavanaugh was an integral figure in the life of my Dad, Joe Tuohy. Dad often said that Monsignor was like a second father to him. The Tuohy family will miss hearing updates about Monsignor Cavanaugh. He is now in heaven watching down upon us all. May he rest in peace.

Monsignor Kavanagh was a great role model for hundreds of us who met him early in our careers. He was always positive and upbeat. In 1922, when he moved to Indianapolis from Galway, Ireland, he enrolled in Cathedral grade school and met Bishop Chartrand. When Bishop Chartrand first established Cathedral High School, it became quite important in the life of Father Kavanagh. That continued to be true until the day he died. It was a special privilege to know him for more than seventy years.

Please add a line .. our paths had not crossed from 1946 [graduation] to 1996 .. Then it makes more sense THANKS

Monsignor Kavanaugh was a saintly and practical administrator, who cared and shared with his flock. At our 50th reunion [CHS'46] he kindly recalled past O'Mahoney family disputes in a loving way - providing information totally new and healing for me. He rests now in Holy Peace.

My sympathy to his family and the parishioners of St.Michael's on your loss.
