Here's a nostalgic photo of Father George as he presides over the wedding of cousin Thomas Brennan and Doris Daigler on September 14th, 1957. Richard Brennan, also a cousin, was the best man.

The family of Thomas Patrick Brennan, a first cousin, remembers the many times Father George was there when we needed him presiding over weddings and funerals. It was a great blessing to have such a wonderful priest in our family.

To the entire family of Msgr. George Brennan, Our St. Bernadette Parish Family send our deepest heartfelt condolences. He was one of the Great Faithful Servants of God. We remember the Mass Celebrations of him, Msgr. Nugent and their class of Priests that were ordained in the same year. They were a great class set apart. Many are missed greatly but their examples of Our Great Catholic Faith will live on. They touched many with God's Great Goodness and Love. Know that Msgr. Brennan and your family have been put in for prayers with the Carmelite,Dominican and Felician Franciscan Nuns. God Bless and Love Always, Margaret Anne Bueme and family
