Father Michael J. Keane

Betty, I was very sorry to hear of your loss. My heartfelt sympathy to you and to your family from a very old friend.

We share our heartfelt prayers with our parish. Father Keane was a pastor of compassion and concern. We will miss him, but rejoice in knowing that he is at home with the Lord he knew so personally.

Thank you, Father Michael J. Keane for the service you rendered to my ailing mother by allowing me to bring her Communion when I came from Washington State to visit my parents. Even though I was no longer a member of the parish, you trusted me with the precious body of Christ. It was a great comfort to my mother who went home to God in August 2005. I will be forever grateful for your generosity. May you receive the reward due to a good and faithful servant of God.

Fr. Keane is remembered for his kindness and caring during his time at St. Agustines in So. S.F.

To all the priests, deacons, staff, and parishioners of St. Isabella (and to Father Keane's family), I send my thoughts and prayers at this time. Father Keane pastored his flock well. Many of his visits and pastoral care were directed to us at St. Anthony too. He came year after year to hear especially the First Confession of our children. May the Holy Spirit guide you in the discernment of his successor, never forgetting the truly faith-filled leadership and loving care of Father Keane....

Betty my heart goes out to you, John, your children and all the family. Peace be with you. My prayers are. QE2

Ther are so many things I am going to miss now that Father Keane is gone. I will miss Father Keane giving out our report cards every year and him telling us what wonderful grades we had (even when we didnt). I will miss him coming down to the school yard during lunch and coming to our tables and saying hello to us. He was such a kind and happy person and he will deffinetly be missed at St. Isabella School.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Father Michael Keane. Almost 20 years ago, Fr. Keane offered counsel to me as I agonized over a divorce. I was a very young girl in a very bad marriage and Fr. Keane was there for me during the most trying time of my life. He never ever judged me and he offered nothing but support and encouragement. Those many years ago Father Keane promised me that someday I would be happily remarried and that I would have lots of children. I'm happy to say...
