Happy Birthday, Fr. Mulvey!

After the foundation of the Paroisse Européenne in Luxembourg over 50 years ago, Fr Tony Mulvey, a Redemptorist from the Dublin Province, was appointed priest to the English-speaking community here, where he served for 13 years. Today, Fr Mulvey celebrates his 97th birthday; he is a remarkable man — not only was he a much loved priest here in Luxembourg, he has over the years kept friendships he made when he was here, and maintains an active interest in our community. Those who have known Fr Tony will wish to join me in wishing him a very happy and blessed day, and ad multos annos (many more years).

Accommodation request

This enquiry/request is for Dylan, 21, the son of my cousin in Ireland. Dylan is due to begin an 8 month course in Luxembourg this week, studying International Business Studies. He is looking for accommodation (as usual here, there is much competition). The course is in Hesperange, but any location would be acceptable. Usual rates, of course.

If you can help with recommendation, please contact me, and I can put you in direct contact with Dylan.

I can vouch for his character etc.

Thank you,

Fr Ed
