Read MoreFather Cronin was all a priest and a caring friend could be. We are blessed by our long friendship at St. Ursula/St.Joseph and his wonderful visits to my Mom to the end of her passing in 2007. He was a true friend and man of God on earth . A giant has gone to heaven. We miss him dearly.

I knew Father Cronin when he came to St. Ursula's Church. Father married my husband and I in 1951 and bapitized my four children. He was a good friend to the entire Hubbard family. He was a wonderful person. May he rest in peace, my prayers are with his family.

Father Cronin, you were a wonderful friend to our family during a very difficult time. I will always remember how kind you were to my mother when she was really in trouble. You were a great person, with a kind spirit, a warm heart, and a wonderful priest. May you rest in peace.

Fr. Cronin was a very special person to the communities of Carney and Parkville. I’ve known Fr. Cronin since he arrived at St. Ursula’s in 1945. At that time I was a 5th grader.

I have know Fr. Cronin all my life, and I will miss him. I also had the good fortune of being named after him. At the time he was at St. Lawrence Parish, therefore my middle name became the name of that parish. I just have to thank God he was at THAT parish at the time of my birth, or my middle name could have been Ursula, Joan, Bernardine, or Margaret. I will miss you, you were a great man. Thank you for your help. I am proud to say my name is:

Father Cronin - "Padre" as we called him. I was the first female altar assistant at St. Isaac's serving with Fr. Cronin. He presided over all our family celebrations. I even had him come to Minnesota for my wedding. His warm smile and kindness will be remembered forever. He will be missed.

Father Cronin was quite possibly the only saint I have ever known. He taught me about the world. Football games and tennis matches. He had a youthful spirit and ambition. I will miss him.

JJ - I will also remember you as one who knew how to be a priest - like Jesus himself. You shared with me what it meant to love and cherish others. I am a better priest because of you.
