Rev. John J. McKenna

Seeing Fr. John’s obit brought back a flood of memories and tears. Charles Street, Patton Street, Aunt Margaret & Uncle John, Sonny (as Fr. John was known), Jim (Fr. James), Frank & Tommy.

Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
