Le p\u00e8re Desmond RYAN (1896 – 1926)<\/p>\n

Le 2 f\u00e9vrier 1926, \u00e0 Cork, retour \u00e0 Dieu du p\u00e8re Desmond Ryan, \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 29 ans.<\/p>\n

Desmond Ryan naquit dans le dioc\u00e8se de Cashel (Irlande), \u00e0 Thurles, le 30 d\u00e9cembre 1896. Vocation tardive, il entrait \u00e0 Ballinafad en 1915. Sous des apparences fr\u00eales, il cachant une volont\u00e9 de fer. Une m\u00e9thode pers\u00e9v\u00e9rante dans l’\u00e9tude et le bon emploi des plus courts instants aboutirent \u00e0 d’excellents r\u00e9sultats. Au mois de mai 1923, il \u00e9tait ordonn\u00e9 pr\u00eatre. Ses sup\u00e9rieurs le destin\u00e8rent \u00e0 l’enseignement et il fut nomm\u00e9 professeur de droit canonique et de musique au grand s\u00e9minaire, alors \u00e0 Blackrock. L’ardeur de l’\u00e9tudiant se retrouve chez le ma\u00eetre. D\u00e9j\u00e0 comme s\u00e9minariste, il aimait \u00e0 aller au cours des vacances chez les B\u00e9n\u00e9dictins, soit \u00e0 Wight, soit \u00e0 Solesmes, pour se perfectionner dans le plain-chant; il continua \u00e0 se perfectionner. D\u00e9sirant un orgue, il se fait qu\u00eateur parmi ses amis. Il s’int\u00e9ressait tout particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 l’histoire des missions, afin d’enrichir ses cours par des aper\u00e7us sur leur d\u00e9veloppement. On venait de lui confier aussi l’histoire de l’Eglise.<\/p>\n

Les missions, il les aimait de tout son c\u0153ur d’ap\u00f4tre: ses demandes r\u00e9it\u00e9r\u00e9es pour y partir en font foi. Encore s\u00e9minariste, il avait donn\u00e9 plusieurs conf\u00e9rences sur les diff\u00e9rentes Soci\u00e9t\u00e9s missionnaires. Le progr\u00e8s de la n\u00f4tre le passionnait au plus haut point et il s’int\u00e9ressait au moindre d\u00e9tail concernant sa vitalit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Son attitude devant le Saint-Sacrement \u00e9tait pour tous un objet d’\u00e9dification. Pr\u00eatre-adorateur, il avait organis\u00e9, lors d’une neuvaine au couvent des S\u0153urs de Marie-R\u00e9paratrice, des heures d’adoration pour le clerg\u00e9 s\u00e9culier et r\u00e9gulier. Par sa joie expansive, sa pi\u00e9t\u00e9, surtout son exemple, il exer\u00e7ait une grande influence sur les s\u00e9minaristes. Malgr\u00e9 sa maladresse au jeu, il ne manquant jamais d’y participer \u00ab\u00a0par principe\u00a0\u00bb, les jours marqu\u00e9s. Son action, \u00e0 son insu, s’exer\u00e7ait m\u00eame au dehors.<\/p>\n

C’\u00e9tait un p\u00e8re plein d’avenir. Les sup\u00e9rieurs de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 esp\u00e9raient beaucoup en lui. Mais Dieu avait sur lui d’autres desseins.<\/p>\n

Sans que personne ne p\u00fbt le pr\u00e9voir, on le trouve mort dans son lit le matin de la f\u00eate de la Pr\u00e9sentation de Notre-Seigneur et de la Purification de la Bienheureuse Vierge Marie.<\/p>\n

Father Desmond H. RYAN (1896 1926)<\/p>\n

Desmond Ryan was born in Thurles, Co Tipperary, in the archdiocese of Cashel and Emily, on 30 December 1896.
He died, unexpectedly, in the Society’s house at Blackrock Road, Cork, on 2 February 1926.<\/p>\n

Desmond’s parents were from Tipperary but when he was only two years they removed to Dublin. Desmond was a ‘delayed vocation’ to the Society, coming to the Sacred Heart college, Ballinafad, Co Mayo, in January 1916. He completed his secondary education at Wilton, Cork (1916 1917) before going to the Society’s seminary at Blackrock Road in the autumn of 1917 to study philosophy. A year later (with the transfer of the philosophy course from Cork) he went to Kilcolgan, Co Galway, where the novitiate and house of philosophy was relocated, returning in 1919 to the Blackrock Road seminary to study theology. He was admitted to membership of the Society on 12 September 1919 and was ordained a priest, along with three colleagues, in the Society’s public chapel (St. Joseph’s), at Blackrock Road, on 26 May 1923. The ordaining prelate was Bishop Thomas Broderick, vicar apostolic of Western Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Of delicate health, scholarly by nature and gifted as a musician, after ordination Desmond was sent to teach canon law and sacred music in the seminary at Blackrock Road. Later he was to teach Church history and also the history of missions to which he was greatly attached. He had a great love of ‘plain chant’ and during his holidays often visited the Benedictines at Wight or Solesmes to perfect his knowledge of that subject. Anxious to procure a good organ for the seminary he collected money among his friends. The organ was installed in 1925 by a Mr. Newman, from ‘The Positive Organ Company’, in London. Desmond had a great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and he was instrumental in organising special hours of adoration for diocesan and order priests in the convent of the Reparation, Cork. Desmond continually sought permission from his superiors to go to Africa, but this was denied on health grounds.<\/p>\n

Without any warning of the impending tragedy Desmond was found dead in bed, of heart failure, on the morning of the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord and the Purification of Our Lady. He had only entered on his 30th year. He was a priest and teacher noted particularly for straightforwardness of character.<\/p>\n

He is buried in Wilton cemetery.<\/p>\n
