 | | He was a paid-up member of the Grangetown Catholic Club and one of his treasured memories was of the night, over 20 years ago, when he, a Zoroastrian from Poona, ‘signed in’ the present writer, a Catholic from Cork! |
 | | The history of the Catholic Parish of St. Patrick’ s goes back to 1866, to the post-famine period when Irish Catholics and their children were numerous, poor and ostracised (the census of 1861 shows 10,000 Irish in Cardiff out of a total population of 31,000). |
 | | Farouk’s long involvement with Grangetown served to strengthen his links with people of Irish birth and descent and to forge bonds with them, their country and their culture, that endured to the end. |
