He was born Feb. 27, 1937, in Brooklyn, N.Y. a son of the late Francis L. Hines and Mary Brady Hines. After years of study culminating in Ph.D and M.A. degrees from Fordham University, he was ordained a Jesuit priest on June 15, 1967.

Mary, both you and Ken were so influential in the formation training at St. Mary´s. I was educated by you both in 1993 and 1994. I have such great memories of you both and still fall back on so many lessons from the classes. I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Ken. He was a bright light with a giant heart.

Dear Mary and the Hines Family,
As an alumnus of Carlow, I wish to offer my deepest sympathies on the passing of your husband, father and grandfather. May the love of family and friends help you through this difficult time; may your faith in God give you strength and may this ancient hymn of the early Church bring you peace: May the angels lead him into Paradise. May the martyrs come and welcome him on his way; And lead him into the holy city, Jerusalem. May the choirs of angels welcome him. And with Lazarus, who once was poor, May he have everlasting life. Amen.
