Capuchin centre founder Br Kevin Crowley dies aged 90

  • On Wednesday, the Capuchin Franciscans announced the death of Brother Kevin Crowley, founder of Dublin’s Capuchin Day Centre, aged 90.
  • Inspired by witnessing street poverty, Crowley founded the Capuchin Day Centre on Bow Street in 1969 after seeing people eat from bins and reconstructing offices to establish the centre.
  • The centre grew from serving 50 meals daily in 1969 to over 1,000 today, offering food, parcels, clothing, and day care.
  • Following his death, Brother Kevin Crowley's remains will arrive Thursday at St Mary of the Angels, repose on Friday, with a Saturday 11am Requiem Mass and burial in Dardistown.
  • Beyond his passing, the Capuchin Day Centre remains a vital support for Dublin’s poor, with Crowley regretting that such services are still needed.
