Rev. Russell James Gavin

Fr Russ:
A most happy memory of my childhood and for your church. Thank you; may you rest in peace.

Father Russ was the pastor at Our Lady of Mount Carmel when I attended it as a youth and he married me and my husband. He will be missed.

Fr. Russ was so much a part of our lives. He married my husband and I. He gave our son and oldest daughter their First Communion and baptised our 3rd child. He said a Mass at our home for my father's 75th birthday and said the buriel Mass for both my mother and father. He was a beautiful priest! I will miss him, but I look forward to seeing him in heaven. We are on vacation in Maine at the present and I received the news via a phone message from a good friend. I am so sorry that we are...

At Mount Carmel we came as boys and we left as men.Thanks Rev Gavin.My deepest sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Rev Gavin my he rest in peace.

Thank you, Father Russ, for being a holy priest.

Let us celebrate the tremendous legacy Fr. Gavin leaves behind as he joins the ranks of other great "Men of Carmel" who have preceded him on his transition to God's presence. His larger-than-life presence around Mt. Carmel, although sometimes stern, but always supportive, was a source of inspiration for students and faculty alike. May his soul now rest in peace.

The family of the late Charles Costello extends their deepest sympathy to the family of Father Russell Gavin
