REV. FRANCIS D. GARRITY

He was truly a wonderful, kind and loving man. The best of the best. He will be missed.

Father Garrity was a wonderful person, priest, Saint Anselm graduate and Golden Anselmian. I feel blessed and honored to have known him and shared in some of the good work he did for his alma mater. He was a true man of faith and humility.

Rest in peace with God, and your loved ones and friends from the Class of 1951. I will miss you, Father.

I'm so sorry to read of Father Garrity's passing. I remember him vividly from St. Francis of Assisi in Medford. He said so many times in his homilies, "My dear friends, I love my priestly life so very much." A true one of a kind. He lived a good, rich, and long life. May he rest in peace.

Linda and I are sorry to hear of Fr. Frank's passing. He married us at the French church, Notre Dame de Pitie, in North Cambridge in 1978. We were a bit nervous and he put us totally at ease. Fr. Frank was always a constant holy and happy presence in our families' life.

Family Friend. Family Priest. Saddened by his passing. Grateful for his life

We are saddened to hear of Fr. Frank's passing. He was, and still is, a special man. To observe him, you quickly see that he truly committed his life to god and loved his vocation. He served with a conviction and passion like no other.

My wife and I had the privilege of having Fr. Frank marry us 33 years ago, with the late Rev. Bernard R. Garrity serving as well.

He was an extraordinary man. So many in the community deeply mourn his passing as his was a life of service,...

I remember him fondly from Saint Raphaels. I am very sad at his passing.

Father Garrity was a wonderful priest when he was here at St. Raphaels. He was a very holy and warm person. We became such good friends when I was in the parish. He married my husband and I and also christened my youngest child. I know he is in heaven still doing God's work. I will miss him dearly.

A truly wonderful priest, beloved by his Needham parish. We were truly blessed to have him as our priest while our children were growing up.
