The Presentation of the Lord

The family of Father Joe would like to thank the entire St. Matthew community for the many prayers, cards, and visits during his illness. The family also sends special thanks to Archbishop Rodi, Fr. John Lynes, Msgr. Warren Wall, Deacon Joe Connick and all priests and parishioners who were in attendance at the funeral. Many thanks to the ladies of the church who prepared the church and the musicians who made the funeral Mass special.
