Columban Fr PJ McGlinchey RIP
Fr PJ McGlinchey
(6 June 1928 - 24 April 2018)
Patrick James McGlinchey was born in the village of Raphoe, which gives its name to the Diocese of Raphoe, on 6 June 1928. He was always known as 'PJ'. In Korea he was known by the Korean name of Yim Pi-jae, a derived from the first letter of each of his English names: Yim for the 'M' in McGlinchey, pi for the 'P' in Patrick and jae for the 'J' in James. (This information is from a fine article published in Korea in 2014: Sixty years on Jejudo: Irish priest shares his memories).
He died in a hospice he had built on the island of Jeju - 'Jejudo' is the Korean for 'Jeju Island' - where he had lived for most of his life and was buried there on.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal. May his noble soul be at the right hand of God.
