Rev. Patrick Doherty

What a wonderful man! I have so many fond memories of Monsignor from St. Mary's. He married my husband and I twenty years ago! Every time I go to communion I think of "The Body......of Christ". The way he used to say it. The way he loved to go to the Vintage Press and order a hamburger blackened. His funny stories about resolving differences between people. Just a one-of-a kind man. May peace be with you Father Dougherty.

What sweet memories I will always have of this dear, good person. He would always tell me not to become a nun because "they would cut my hair!" His warm smile and attentiveness were constant. He touched my heart, and I can still hear his voice as it would echo in church when he administered the Holy Eucharist. Peace be with you always dear Monsignor.

The next Sunday, he patted $250 into my palm and told me it was "a little something" towards my college funds. He retired just after I graduated. I know that he is at rest with the Lord now, and that his...

PEACE BE WITH YOU, MONSIGNOR.

I have very fond memories of Msgr. Doherty during my cathecism days at St. Mary's in the 80's. He would always ask me for some of my hair. He was a good, loving and kind man. I know he is resting at peace now with our Lord.
