"His time at Lough Derg was a period of development and change, and being a man of vision and openness to the Lord, he managed that well. Above all, Fr Dick was a priest whose priesthood was rooted in walking with Christ every day.
"He fulfilled that ministry of Christ's love right up to the final hours of his life. May the Lord now grant him eternal peace in the fullness of God's Kingdom."
The Funeral Mass of Monsignor Richard Mohan will take place in the Sacred Heart Church, Clones at twelve noon this afternoon .
