Rev. Thomas Herbert Stahel

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I was a student at Spring Hill College in Mobile in the late 80's and met Fr. Stahel during his brief stay there. He enjoyed singing tenor in the college chorus for which I was also tenor and occasional accompanist. We became friends and kept in touch over the years. My wife and I visited him both in NYC during the America years and in New Orleans after his return from Africa. I was quite fond of him and had such admiration for his dedication to the Jesuit life. I think Fr. Laboon summed...

The most courageous priest I ever knew. And one of the few priests, my mother always Father Stahel.AFter all, he was the provincial.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Father Stahl and to the Jesuit Family. Your loss is great. I knew him but a short time but was impressed by all his virtues including his gentleness and hisbrilliance.I will offer Mass for Father on 7-11-06 at 6:30 pm EST. May his soul rest in peace.

God bless you, Father Stahel !!!

I had the opportunity to visit with Tommy for an extended talk perhaps 20 years ago. We talked as first cousins, discussing the family. It was a pleasure to see Tommy's complex character and his goodness. I will always be grateful for that unexpected and special meeting. My wife Kay and I convey our deepest sympathy to all of Tommy's family and friends. With Warmest Regards, Edward and Kay

WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY PEACE AND COMFORT DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES.

I am Mary Jo Stahel Mason, daugher of Edward E. Stahel, Sr. My brother, Edward Jr., just called me to tell me about Tommy. I very much regret that I never had the opportunity to know him, but certainly knew that he was a Jesuit priest and pastor of Holy Name of Jesus. During part of the summertime in Tuscaloosa, AL, a priest would come from New Orleans to fill in for our priest when he would go on a long vacation. I would ask them about Tommy and all of them over the years would have...
