RIP, Kevin Ehlefeldt MSC
Last night (Saturday, 24 May), we received news that Fr. Kevin Ehlefeldt MSC, passed away at 9.30 pm at Prince of Wales (POW) Hospital, Randwick, NSW.
From Tim Brennan MSC:
“After a number of days of slowly deteriorating at POW Hospital, he has gone to meet the Lord.
Two of his nieces have been by his bedside in recent days.
Mary and Pauline are both nurses, one living in Northern NSW and one in western Sydney.”
On 26 February 2025, Kevin marked 77 years of religious profession. He was an MSC brother for more than twenty years before discerning ordination and entering the late vocations seminary at Kensington in 1976. He was ordained to the priesthood on 18 August 1979.
As a brother, Kevin was appointed to a number of our communities, with time between Kensington and Croydon, and appointed to a number of our colleges. Following ordination, he ministered in the parishes of Randwick (NSW), Kings Meadow (TAS), Henley Beach (SA), Camp Hill (QLD), and later parish supply in the Lismore Diocese.
Kevin would have celebrated the 96th anniversary of his birth in August.
Kevin and his brother, John MSC.
May Kevin rest with Christ in death and rise with him in glory.
