Rev. Cornelius Thomas Kane

Father Tom was a great friend of the Bolger family. He married Pat and me and baptized our two girls, Chris and Jessica. He also presided over the marriage of our daughter, Jessica.
Father Tom was a frequent visitor to the vacation house in OCNJ along with Father Phil Grimley. They were both so full of life and a joy to be around. He will be missed. We pray for him.

My Mom and Dad had many great memories of Tom with the Washington Redskins and the Touchdown7 Club. He was our family friend along with Fr. Chris Grimley. Sharon and I were able to stay intouch with Fr. Tom and come to Washington to go out for a meal.

Father Kane was a professor at Dominican House of Studies during my time of studies there, and became a good friend. We would often go for meals at various restaurants there in Washington and continued to stay in touch. He was a wonderful example of Christian virtue, and an excellent teacher.
Requiescat in pace.

Fr. Kane was like a member of our family, in fact we called him the Coll Family Chaplain. We feel especially blessed to have had him in our life. I had the opportunity to become friends with Fr. Kane when I started being a reader at St. Joe's. In turn, Fr. Kane became an intrical part of every member of our families lives. He performed the wedding ceremonies for two of us girls, and performed the "super" baptism when three of us girls all had babies within a month of each other. He made...

Father Kane, your homilies were always excellent and touched my heart in so many ways. You were a wonderful priest and I miss you and St. Joseph's very much. May your soul rest in peace with our dear Lord in Heaven.

Father Kane made a lasting impression on me at St. Joesephs as I happened into the church for my first mass as a member of the parish. I will never forget that homily as long as I shall live Father Kane. I had just mentioned the day before going to this particular mass, I did not see why missing mass was such a big deal to the catholic church. So low and behold during my first Fr. Kane served mass what did he have for a homily? He practically bellowed to the audience during the homily "why,...

John and I especially enjoyed Father Kane while he was part of the St. Joseph's "family." He always had time to exchange pleasantries with all the parishioners, admiring a shirt, or talking about sports. We looked forward to his beautiful Christmas cards in which he remembered us in masses. God bless Father Kane.

Dear Father Kane,
You always were the most exquisite example of everything a wonderful priest could be.
