I label myself a "friend" as I was not Catholic when my Catholic wife took me to St Janes Mass & our son began attending school there. Fth Sheehen wecomed our family graciously. Son Ian´s 1st altar service of 100´s was w/Fth. Father Sheehan confirmed me as an RCIA convert. He gave my Notre Dame Green Pond Nat Honor Society the talk of a century. He was Blessed; he Blessed me, my family, & my school. Rest in Peace, Friend. ab

We met Father Sheehan at St. Janes in the early 1980´s. He was a wonderful pastor. Some parishioners found him quirky, but we were refreshed by his prosaic homilies and open minded approach to conflicts that were beginning to plague the church. I always remember his words at the consecration of every Mass I attend... "Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you!" Requese in pace
