‎‎[Obituary from Mobile Register]‎‎
Monsignor Patrick O'Connor, pastor of Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church, died Wednesday after suffering a heart attack. He was 71.

O'Connor was a priest in Dothan before coming to the Gulf Shores church about five years ago, said the Rev. Lee O'Neil, a priest at the East 22nd Avenue church.

O'Neil said O'Connor was a knight of the Holy Sepulcher, an international order responsible for the preservation of the holy lands in Israel.

"He was a good man. He was a holy man. He was a humble man," O'Neil said. "He was a good priest - an excellent priest. In fact, he'll be hard to replace."

O'Connor grew up in Mobile, O'Neil said. O'Connor's mother died when he was 11 months old, and he was raised by his father and an aunt, O'Neil said.

O'Connor led a congregation that fluctuates dramatically throughout the year, depending upon th season.

"We get the natives, the snowbirds and the sunbirds," O'Neil said. "We have three different congregations, actually."

O'Connor is survived by one sister, O'Neil said. Funeral arrangements had not been announced Wednesday evening.
