Father McGinn is well remembered,loved and missed in the Parish of Saint Ann. The beautiful service for him celebrated by our new Archbishop Timothy Dolan was fitting and much deserved.
Rest in peace, Father. ATTENTION HAS BEEN PAID!!!

Sylvester McGinn
May 18, 2009
May 18,2009 I met Fr. McGinn when I was about 5 years old right after my father had read about his recent Ordination into the Priesthood in the Catholic News. We were living in the Woodlawn section of the Bronx at the time and the reason why my Dad wanted me to meet him was that we shared the same name: Sylvester McGinn.

He was more than a priest. He was my friend, my mentor, my inspiration. Thanks for everything Father. I will not forget you, I will pray to you.
