Father Enda McDonagh opened the door for friend and stranger, and countless generations of Irish seminarians, to experience the excitement that is the quest for faith seeking understanding.

With Enda, the Word continued to become flesh whether in hospital wards, in boardrooms, broken homes, or breaking hearts – all those situations derived hope when Enda spoke.

Absolutely convinced of Christ’s gospel, he acknowledged the way in which a Christianity that was divided was such a contradiction, and so he fostered ecumenical dialogue at the international and local level.
