Fr. Frank McKenna Has Passed Away


Thank you to Ann Corcoran today for passing along the sad news that Fr. Frank McKenna has passed away. I had heard a report of this recently, but I have been unable to confirm it until now. It was announced at Mass today in Norwich, I believe. There is to be a service on Thursday in Canterbury where I believe he was the Pastor for a time. I have been unable to find an obituary or any other info in the newspaper so far. I visited him back in 2017 in an effort to encourage him to attend out 50th reunion, but he declined for reasons of health. Requiescat in Pace, Fr. McKenna.  

UPDATE July 13, 2020: thank you to Ann Corcoran for sending Fr. McKenna's obituary today:
