Aunt Brigid's Visit!

You should come back!!
I'll read you "My Book of Colors"
We can play monster... Rarr
You can build block towers and I can knock them down!!
You and Mom can find treasure on Xbox
I'll let you give me a couple kisses

Death is nothing at all


Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
Canon Henry Scott-Holland
This reminded me of Father Kelly. Hope it brings you healing

Remembering Father Michael Kelly

Carol Ann Saying Good Bye.......



On, Dec 31, 2008, our beloved pastor, Fr. Michael Kelly, was killed by a falling tree while helping to clear the road during a severe wind storm. We are grieving for our loss. He was a true soldier for Christ. He administered most of the sacraments to our family during the time we knew him. Baptism for baby Thomas (above), First communion for Rose (above), Last rites for dad when he had his stroke, Concelebrating wedding Mass for Cathleen & Tom, frequent Mass and Confession. The example he set for Eddie and John will be treasured. We pray that our friendship will be renewed in heaven.

Please Pray with us for Nine Days

Family and Friends of Corky Corcoran:

On, Monday, November 24th, Corky Corcoran (Dad) suffered a major stroke effecting his sight, speech, and movement on the right side of his body. In addition he was recently diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Dad was devoted to the Immaculate Heart and Sacred Heart. During his stay in California he was instrumental in helping build a Shrine to the Blessed Mother. The parish and shrine is named, Our Lady of Peace. The pastor who had the vision for the Shrine was, Monsignor John J. Sweeny. Father Sweeney was dedicated to the Family Rosary, Perpetual Adoration (24/7), and the Sacraments, especially the Sacraments of Penance and Eucharist. He died in the air of Sanctity on, March 7, 2006. Since Dad shared a close friendship with Monsignor Sweeny the Corcoran Family is asking anyone interested to recite the attached prayer for nine days, December 9th until December 18th (the anniversary of Father’s ordination). Our request is that Dad will make a full and speedy recovery. The hand written prayer (Learning Christ) was found at Fathers’ bedside after he passed away.
