Passing Away of Msgr. Hurley

I have been remiss in not posting over the last month or so.  Work, my parish organization, and other things have kept me from posting.  And there have been many things happening.

Therefore, let me start with the passing away of Msgr. Leonard Hurley.

May eternal rest be granted unto him, O Lord.   And let perpetual light shine upon him.  May his soul, and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.  Amen.
