Not sure what to say?

Anita and Paul, I just found out about Fran's passing. I usually sent him a Christmas card. Mike and I will miss him. ❤ Bernadette Brandolo Kapps

I knew and worked with Bishop DiLorenzo when he was Bishop of Honolulu. He helped build a new church on Oahu (St. Jude's) and he was always there to support the parishes. I corresponded with him when I lived in Virginia Beach and he told me how much he enjoyed his Hawai'i position. I will always remember him as one of God's finest.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May God Bless Rev. Francis X. Dilorenzo and May he REST IN PEACE in the Kingdom of the Prince of Peace...."His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." MATTHEW 25:21

Peace, Love and Understanding

The Fathers and Brothers of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament serving in the Diocese of Honolulu extend their prayerful support to the Diocese of Richmond and the family and friends of Bishop Francis DiLorenzo. It was a grace to have worked with him.
