Bishop Dunn was one of our good bishops, taken to his eternal reward at an early age. He will be a great loss to the diocese. Requiescat in pace.
May he rest in peace.
RIP - Unrelated topic, apologies....
Does anyone know if the pope wore 'marini-pink' or rose today?
That's too bad. Went to his mass a couple of times. Very nice person.
Prayed for him and the awful situation of our Iraqi brothers and sisters at Mass this morning.
God bless
I am very sorry indeed.
The bishop was no age at all.
I understand his end was a peaceful one, which is a mercy.
God rest his soul now.
