Father Rohan would have one sermon he would save for the hottest Sunday each summer and I remember it word for word: "Whatever you are doing right, keep doing it. Whatever you are doing wrong STOP it! Amen" Followed by a great laugh from the congregation. What a Priest! (and friend). Al Kupchunos

John was a great friend and a great man. He by far the most gifted homlist i have ever known. I can still hear his booming voice. Feel so fortunate to have known him. God bless

What a wonderful priest of God! It was my great honor to know and serve with you, Father John.
