Rev. Michael A. O'Keefe

"Father Mike" was a dear and devoted friend to our family for many years and will be greatly missed. He always came through for us when we needed him and we will always remember him for it.

Dear Fr. Mike, We love you and will miss you terribly. You have been a wonderful priest for over 50 years and a dear friend to us. We will always keep you in our heart and prayers. Jill & Charlie Angela

I remember Father O'Keefe well from the early 60's at St. John's parish (I was an altar boy there). He would have been in his twenties; full of energy and cheer. A good man.

To the family of Father Mike,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My family and I have known Father Mike since his days at St Boniface. All three of my children made their First Holy Communion with him back in the 70's He was very supportive of me and my family during some difficult times. He is truly a man of God and he will be missed.

Fr Mike, It was a pleasure having you as our Pastor at St. Petronille Church. You taught us to care for one another. You taught us the importance of loving God and neighbor. You were a good man. You will be missed. We love you.

Fr. Mike,
Thank you for many years of devoted service to our Lord and his people. Your influence on all of us will never be forgotten.

Dear Family of Father Mike - I join you in thanking our Lord for his grace-filled life. I was privileged to live with him in Naperville the last 3 years. I shall offer Mass for him tomorrow. May he rest in Christ's peace!
