Our deepest sympathies to the McHale family and parishioners of Cannon George. A wonderful priest who always had a welcome for everyone. He used to always tell me about his days in London as a curate and going to hear the football matches on a transistor radio in Clapham Common. They would throw some sort of Aeriel up on a tree to get a sound and how wonderful it was to get the GAA games. That was back in the 60’s. Happy memories. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Canon George McHale, a longtime friend. We went school together at Rathnamagh , NS. He was a few years older but was always kind and respectful to his lower classmates.
I remember him as a bright, humorous young man, full of life. He was the only one from our school who went on to become a priest. We later knew him fondly as Father George. To those who knew him well, he was something of an icon—always engaging, welcoming, and warm. He lived a wonderful life. My condolences to his family, relatives, and all who knew him and will miss him. Rest in peace

He was in his element when a play was in production during the long winter nights.

He will be sadly missed. May he rest in peace. Leaba i measc na Naomh go raibh aige.
