Dear Christ the King Family,

It is with heavy heart that I inform you of the death of Deacon John Paul Kelly, who passed away earlier this week while on vacation with his wife, Janet, in Portugal. Deacon Kelly was ordained to the permanent diaconate in 1992 by Bishop Grahmann, and served faithfully at Christ the King for many years.

Funeral arrangements are pending and will be announced.

Please keep Deacon Kelly, his wife Janet, their children Shannon and Keegan and family in your prayers.

Eternal rest grant unto Deacon John Paul Kelly, O Lord, and may the perpetual light shine upon him.  May he and all the faithful departed rest in peace.  Amen.

In Christ, 

Father Tony
