Passing of a Friend

Today,we received the news of the death of Mr. Michael Sullivan '54, former teacher and athletic director at Central Catholic. Mr. Sullivan died peacefully on Monday, surrounded by his loving family. By now the news has most likely reached the edges of the Central World, but I wanted to make sure that he be included among the loved ones being remembered by all of us this month. The list is growing daily and I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to include all of these loved ones in our Book of Prayer.
Today we honor St. Leo the Great, a man whose courage warded off the invasion of Attila the Hun, and whose papacy was at the forefront of reform in the spiritual life of the Church. Attila attacks in various ways currently but through the intercession of acknowledged saints like St. Leo and lesser known saints like Michael Sullivan, we are encouraged to continue the battle against the powers of the Evil One. May we continue to strengthen and support one another.
Bro. Rene
