“Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40
A Lifetime of Service: Father Lloyd O'Neill was a Nova Scotian Catholic priest without pretensions.
He dedicated nearly every minute of his waking life to helping others, giving of his own time, and out of
his own pocket, to help those around him. Whether through organized charities or just helping the
'person next door', his life was an example of commitment and service. With almost 50 years of dedicated
service to the priesthood, and 40 plus years as the chaplain to Halifax Regional Police and Nova Scotia RCMP,
Father Lloyd truly exemplified what is to be a man put on this earth to devote his life to embrace and
enrich the lives of the people who needed him most. Whether it was a quick “How ya doin’?” or a
caring night of talk and prayer, Father Lloyd gave his time sincerely and selflessly.
Charity Memorial Golf Tournament and “Poor Man’s Supper”: For over a year, a committee has worked diligently
to organize a golf tournament to remember Father Lloyd’s life and to donate to the charities he found most dear,
such as Hope Cottage, Adsum for Women and Children, and several others. The tournament will take place on Father Lloyd’s birthday, September 24, 2015 at The Links at Penn Hills, followed by a “Poor Man’s Supper” at St. Agnes Parish in Halifax.
