Rev. John P. Frawley

I was an alter boy at St. John in the mid 70s fr Frawley was a wonderful man rip father

Father Frawley first touched my life at St. Albert the Great Parish. His saintly presentation of Holy Mass inspired me to follow him to STM for daily noon Mass for a couple years while I was visiting Chicago working for the railroad. He asked me to hold the Chalice occasionally, which I found to be a heavenly experience. Missed him and daily Mass much at STM when work took me to KC until my retirement. I was saddened when I googled his name only to find his obituary. No doubt he truly touched...

Thinking of Fr Frawley today. He was such a wonderful man a truly humble servant of Christ. I know you are in heaven and are sharing that wonderful spirit with those who are there with you. Thank the Lord that we were blessed to have you in our lives. I believe that you are truly a saint! Truly the man of God. I remember when your friend Dominic passed away many years ago and your sadness. We went to the gravesite and you were there praying over him. It was a cloudy overcast day and you...

Can´t believe it has been eight years since Fr. Frawley´s passing. Think of him often, Fr. Frawley was a true servant of God and gave everything of himself. We were so lucky he came to St. Thomas More with his true faith, sparkling blue eyes and Irish wit. Hopefully Father Frawley you are looking down on St . Thomas More Church fondly and helping guide it. We miss you!

This man an old family friend & spiritual guidance all my living days. I was fortunate enough to have been married to my husband by this holy saint. I honestly never doubted I was in the presence of God when he was near. So much incredible advice, healing & care when in times of sorrow. He embodied all the Christ demanded of his soldiers & yes, I can unequivocally state I always knew he was so innately holy, he was a living saint on earth! How can I be so lucky to have met a saint?!! Now...

We will miss you always!

I remember walking to St. John the Baptist Church as a child with my late grandmother. During my late mother's illness, Father was always there for her and the rest of our family. I have no doubt that Father was a Saint on earth, and is now in the presence of God.

I feel so bad that we have just learned of Father Frawley's death. Our son Kenneth was one of the first babies he baptized at St. John's in 1966. When Kenneth died in 1996 we lived in Florida. When we got to the church in Oak Park there was Father. He had been on vacation and came home to say the mass for our son.
Father was a saint on earth. I wish I could say thanks again Father for everything.

Our condolences to the family and friends of Father Frawley and the parish community of St. Thomas More. We got to know him well when he helped out with weekend masses at St. Albert the Great in Burbank. He was one of the finest priests I have been privilged to know.
