Rest in peace Father Gillen. He was my late husbands cousin.

Monsignor Gillen, God Bless you and provide you Peace and Comfort as we await his Kingdom to come. You were a blessing to the Prangley family. I remember well your comforting and playful smile while at St. Jerome. Love and Prayers, Chris Prangley

You have my deepest sympathy. May the God of loyal love comfort the family during your time of sorrow. Psalm 119:76'

Msgr. Gillen was truly a pastor for the families of St. Jerome Parish. The school children loved him. He spent time with the children and celebrated special liturgies with them. Msgr. Gillen also celebrated the liturgy for the profession of my final vows as a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur. He will be remembered with love.
Sr. Geri McPhee SND, St. Jerome Concent

Msgr. Gillen was very very special to our family and all those at St Jerome's Parish. Although it has been decades since he was the pastor there, he was with us during happy and sad times and was considered part of our family. God bless him for all he did for us.
