Maurice Mickey McCormick

Father Mickey literally saved my life in my first year as a student at SFSU in 1976. He was so kind, humorous, and full of intelligent insights-- and so willing to spend huge amounts of time just talking! I spent three years in San Francisco and he is my most vivid memory.

Just saw this; hope it's not too late! Mickey was the first young man (he was a Senior in High School) that I was in love with, even though I knew that he was headed for the seminary. I was 15 and had just developed a friendship with his sister Rosie (Rose Ellen). Rosie and I attended Mercy High School in Burlingame. Mickey was cute, very nice, did dance with me a time or two. But there was never any doubt where his future lay. We stayed in touch for a short time and I, now married and...

I have an abundance of fond memories of Mickey. Mickey, Kieran, and Rose Ellen’s father, Maurice, was the double cousin of my grandfather, Phil McCormick (i.e. their fathers were brothers and their mothers were sisters). Every milestone celebration involved the extended McCormick family. I have attached a photo from my grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary Mass at St. Catherine in Burlingame in 1971, con-celebrated by Mickey and Kieran. Much love to the McCormick and Forbes families! ...

Monsignor McCormick was a kind and faithful man who always had a smile on his face. He was the perfect model for what a priest should be! My condolences to his family and loved ones during this time. May this great and good man Rest In Peace.

Father Mickey, rest in peace, you have earned it. What a truly great man.

Many wonderful memories of Mickey from when I was growing up! He will be missed.

Father Mickey meant so much to our family. He was always so supportive and upbeat. We are grateful to him for marrying us, baptizing our boys and for presiding over my father’s funeral. He will be missed but we know that he will continue his service as an angel in heaven. May he Rest In Peace.
