Fr John Kelly

Fr John Kelly is the director of pastoral care at Tallaght University Hospital (TUH), having worked as a chaplain in the hospital for over 23 years. Chaplains have paid a crucial role during the pandemic, continuing to care and support people in extraordinary circumstances. A native of Dublin City’s northside, Fr John Kelly began working in retail management but says he was always involved in various aspects of community life, which led him to his path of priesthood and later into chaplaincy.
