Requiescat in Pace, Fr. Michael Kelly
Death can come upon us unaware. Fr. Michael Kelly of St. Francis de Sales in Purceville, VA was killed yesterday enroute to a funeral of a fellow priest (I presume Fr. George Griffin who died on Christmas Day. His funeral Mass was yesterday at 11:00 a.m. at Good Shepherd in Alexandria.)
The winds were pretty violent New Year's Eve, gusting up to 50 mph. Father stopped to remove a tree from the road with the help of another motorist and was killed when a second tree fell on him.
Channel 8 covered the story.
We extend our condolences to Fr. Kelly's family and to the parishioners of St. Francis who have lost a beloved spiritual father. We urge all to pray for Father Kelly and the Diocese of Arlington which has experienced this painful loss. Eternal rest grant unto Fr. Kelly, O Lord, and may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
