I studied art with Fr. Michael at RIC many years ago. He was immensely talented, being a wonderfully skilled draftsman who possessed the heart of a poet. I saw his name listed In Memoriam in the latest RIC Alumni magazine. Although this is now a year later, I want to extend heartfelt condolences to Mike's family. He was truly a special person.

Prayerful condolences are extended to the family and friends of Father Michael Menna.
While walking through life and attempting to live a life of faith, one experiences loss. Loss of any description is a reality with which we often wrestle. At some point during the grieving process we begin work at retrofitting our own life as we realize that encapsulated love yields nothing useful.
Michael was one of my students at St. Bartholomew's School along with Joseph Giorgianni and...

My deepest sympathy to Father Menna's family and friends. I always enjoyed listening to his sermons at St Ann's Church. He was a good man and priest, and will be missed. May he rest in peace.

Dear Gilda and family,
Such a sad time for all of us. Michael was a 5 year old when he was ring bearer, along with my sister, Debbie, as flower girl at my wedding in 1960. Fifty years later, he renewed my husband, Bob, and my wedding vows, and in 2014 he, so graciously, celebrated my husband's funeral mass at St. Bartholomew Church. He has been an important part of my marriage life and will be greatly missed. I knew I could always count on Michael to be there for me and my family....

I am very saddened to hear of Father Mikes passing. Our times together at St Bartholomew School and LaSalle were reminisced at length when he came to Sts John and Paul parish. When my Mom was passing he was there in a matter of minutes. God is now calling on the best of the best. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.
