REV. FRANCIS Z. JUREWICZ

Father Francis had such a wonderful and meaningful role in the lives of my family and me. So happy that i was able to see him as recent as this past January.

Father Fran was our first assistant pastor at St. Mary's. We are all saddened that he left this earth, however we are happy he has gone home! Father took a special interest in the youth of St Mary's. My wife and I were members of his "Glenmar Youth Group" and we got to appreciate this fine man. He made such a positive mark on all of us, lucky enough to have grown up under him. I don't know if we ever thanked you ..... So a big thanks to Fr. Fran!

We were blessed to have Father Fran as our patient. He was a living example of Christ's love and although we are sadden that his earthly life is over, we rejoice that he is with our Lord and Savior in Heaven. Love, Debbie, Michele, Chris and Marcie

Father Jurewicz was more than a priest to us, he was our friend here at St. Mary's. We fondly remember our many fine dinners shared at Dave Gorman's home followed with a trip to the Kenley Players in Warren, Ohio. He had a great sense of humor and was a wonderful person.

Fr. Fran truly made St. Leocadia Parish a family. While his passing leaves a large void in our heart, he will always be of "happy memory."

Father Fran has touched our lives in many ways and we are most thankful for the privilege of having known him. We will miss him.
