Rev. Angelo Vincent PALERMO

I went to Bishop Eustace from 1977-81 and Fr Angelo was principal. Unofficial friend, guidance counselor and mentor. Nothing bad to say about Fr. Angelo.

Many times I sat in Father Angelo’s darkened office and I felt a tremendous sense of fear. However, by conversation’s end, I would have felt a gentle pat on my shoulder and the compassion of a fair man. Even though I am now an adult, I still believe that Father Angelo’s guest chairs could swallow me up because his presence had that effect.

A person can encounter many in his or her lifetime. If one is lucky enough, a guiding spirit will enter. It took some time; still, Father...

THE FINEST MAN I EVER KNEW. HE WAS A BRILLIANT EDUCATOR AND FRIEND.

To Mary Franco and family, I am sad to learn of the passing of your beloved brother Father Angelo Palermo S.A.C. My father John P.

What can one say about a force of nature? As someone who learned the rudiments of Latin from Father Angelo--as well as a healthy respect for discipline--I can only acknowledge the influence of those pioneers who laid the foundation of what Bishop Eustace Prep. is today. As a young teacher who spent more than the first decade of his vocation "learning the ropes" from Father Angelo, I can only thank him for the hard lessons learned through his judicious but caring tutelage. As someone who later...

The Pallottine communty has lost an irreplaceable priest. Would that all of the Eustace religious community been like him. His example was large enough to bring others to consider the priesthood.because his example was one of kindness, truthfulness, and a contagious love for his Master and God. (V. Rev. Chrysostomos Robert Geis, S.S.B.)
