Bishop Thomas J. Flanagan

In memory of a Father

Always present in my mind
And in your prayers
Faith is rooted in belief
Yours's never floundered
Encouragement though distant
Accompanied me each day
Thoughts of your Love
Radiated my Hope
To this understanding
Your example back then
Strengthens my will with yours
Shedding baggage I put upon myself
Listening to your advice so Holy
Coming to our reunion by all God’s
blessings

God bless you Bishop Tom. Unfortunately I am now just finding out that you passed away. Your were wonderful priest and a family friend at St. Brigids in San Antonio. Thank you for presiding over my Erins and my wedding. You will be missed!

Bishop Tom was a huge part of our religious life for 45 years, he consoled us when we buried our son in 1974, baptized our youngest daughter, first communion and confirmation for both daughters, baptism for 3 grandchildren, and a constant faith giver when we needed it.

Rest well dear friend.

I love you, Father Tom, and I ask that you continue to pray for me to accomplish the spiritual mission to which...
