An important message from Bishop Robert Deeley: My dear friends, It is with deep sadness that I write to inform you of the sudden passing of Father John Skehan, 66, pastor of St. Michael Parish. Father Skehan died Wednesday in the late afternoon, unexpectedly, of natural causes at the home of friends while visiting them on his day off. As you can all imagine, this comes as a shock to all who know and love Father Skehan. Funeral arrangements have not yet been finalized. Please pray for the repose of his soul, and the consolation of his brother and sister, and all his family and friends. Father Skehan had indicated his preference that his funeral would take place in the parish where he was serving when he died.  The funeral will, therefore, be scheduled at St. Michael Parish. As soon as the arrangements are able to be made, you will be informed.  The loss of Father Skehan is a great sorrow for all who have known him. His family, his brother priests, as well as you, his parishioners, are all saddened by his sudden death. In this moment we rely on our faith to strengthen us. It is a time for us to remember that Jesus’ coming among us was, and continues to be, God’s assurance that he is with us in all things, and especially moments of difficulty such as this. Let us pray for each other, then, that we will know that Jesus walks with us in this time of loss.

We were fortunate to have Bishop Deeley presiding at Star of the Sea for Sunday morning Mass this past weekend.  For full story and pictures click here.
