Arthur Dillon

We were so lucky to have had Father Dillon at Queen of Apostles for ten wonderful years, as Associate Pastor.During those years he made many life long friends.Even after leaving, he came back to officiate at many functions, including the marriages of our three daughters. Playing golf with "Artie" (as we discreetly called him)was a joy. He was easy to beat...emitted no curse words and he kept an honest count of his strokes. Father Dillon, we love you and will always miss you. An Irish wish on...

Father Dillon is recalled with respect from his days with us at St. Bride's on the southeast side of Chicago. I'll remember him in the Eucharist as a man who offered faithful witness to the Gospel.

To Father Dillon's Family,

We are two old friends from Queen of Apostles Church. We want you to know that we have wonderful memories of Fr. Art, and how much he was appreciated as a truly Holy Man and a terrific person. He was a very positive influence on us and our family,and we had many great fun times together. We loved him, won't forget him and we thank God for sharing him with us. Pray for us AB.
Rest with God.

Our deepest sympathy to Fr. Art's fa mily.He was a kind and wonderful priest who was always available whenever you needed him. With a soft shy manner he always acknowleged all those with whom he came in contact. He indeed was God's priest. May he enjoy hitting it straight and long in God's kingdom.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Father Art. He was a gentle and kind man of God and loved that game of golf!
We miss exchanging postcards of vacation destinations and will remember his delight in staying at our home in Hilton Head and golfing with his priest buddies. May he be eternally happy on that heavenly farway. God bless him.

Thanks for all your work done in God's Name..........May God give you rest, and count you as one of His own.

To the family of Fr.Arthur Dillon,
It was Fr. Dillon who first invited me to play the organ at St. Anne Church,(1973), which I still do today on a part-time basis.

Fr. Dillon was a kindly, faithful priest with a special love for the children of our parish. His quiet, stable leadership helped guide the development of our parish campus.

Requiescant in pace. Amen.

Centered on Jesus.....Art always modeled and lived his priestly spirituality - a man steadfast of heart, he clearly decided, chose, to praise the God who had chosen him. I will never forget the love Art had for my family and his unshakeable belief in the power of good people gathered, acting together, to create new, just structures in our church and our world. For this, we sing a farewell word of love and thanks.

On behalf of my mother Mary Kavanagh and all of my family, I would like to express my condolences to the family of Father Dillon. My family has known Father Dillon since his first days at Queen of Apostles. We have many memories of a kind, gentle man and a wonderful priest. He will be in our prayers. May he rest in peace.
