I remember sometime he was sick, he will go about visiting the sick and will complete his rounds for the day before coming back to the parish to rest. He would sit at confession for hours and even if there was evening Mass, he will not get up until the last person is heard. I also remember him taking confession to the marketplace, inviting Catholics who have not gone for confession a while to come so that he can listen to their confession in his car. All his thoughts were of the salvation of the faithful.
We were privileged to have had him as a Parish Priest.
Thank you Rev. Fr. Leo Flynn for your genuine love and concern for us.
May God grant you a merciful judgement, pardon and peace. Amen.
Your charity towards the poor is immeasurable.
God has seen you through until now.

He taught us very well both in benediction and Latin. Also in the catechism of the Catholic church. He was really called to priesthood. He was never after material things but the growth and expansion of the church. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and may perpetual light shine on him. Amen

May he Rest In Peace
You are a true priest of God, you worked tirelessly in our parish for I attend one of the parishes in Lagos. At my parent's wedding in the church, you made sure it was done even after they gave all the excuses, you often visit our home to give my grandma communion. You were a living saint in our midst, a true definition of a priest of God.
Eternal rest grant unto Fr Leo Flynn and let perpetual light shine upon you. Continue to rest easy in christ's Love.
Waiting for the day you will be crowned a saint in the church.
May he rest in peace
That you were exceptional person and priest of the most high is an understatement.
You gave all to all of us,your Parishioners, yourself, without any reservations.
My catholic Faith was made strong by your teachings and practical teaching of the church and Bible.
Although I saw you last in the early 2000 in St. Margaret Catholic church Olodi Apapa, I still hold firm to your teachings and christian values. You gave me a penance of 90 days or 120 days evening Mass to attend. I can't actually remember again. It not only made my faith firm, but also made me better catholic.
I believe you are not dead, but have joined the saints to continue to glorify God in heaven with his angels.
Your death is a big loss to humanity, but a gain in heaven.
Please Fr. Flynn, pray for me. Intercede in my prayers and pray to God to help me overcome every negative and bad intentions or occurrence of sudden death either to me or any member of family.
Fr. Leo Flynn, Pray for us.
From Jerry Lundy. Tubbercurry.
May his soul rest in peace.
May his gentle soul rest in peace
