The founder of the Capuchin Day Centre Brother Kevin Crowley has died at the age of 90.

Archbishop of Dublin Dermot Farrell say his work transformed the lives of the poor and marginalised in the city, adding: "My sincere sympathy to Brother Kevin’s family and his Capuchin confrères on his death.  Brother Kevin devoted his life to the service of the poor.

"His work with the Capuchin Day Centre staff and volunteers transformed the lives of the poor and marginalised in our city who availed of its services, from misery and despair to hope and love.  He was always able to see Christ in the people he met.  His was a love that reached out with no questions asked of those who sought assistance.  Brother Kevin was an authentic follower of Saint Francis of Assisi.

"As we mourn Brother Kevin’s death, he would want us to remember the poor we still have with us in ever greater numbers because of homelessness, wars, famine and the multiplicity of addictions that affect our county today."

"Invaluable Contribution"
