I prayer for Fr. Marty Gleeson's Soul. Had met through Lord Teach Me To Pray Ignatian Prayer in Maine Several Times. A great influence on my faith and prayer life through his life, witness, and priesthood.

Marty was a real "Parable" friar! I loved working with him on Parable retreat teams! Lots of fine preaching using words AND music!
