John Francis Whealon, 20th anniversary

John F. Whealon.jpgToday is the 20th anniversary of death of The Most Reverend John Francis Whealon, STL, the sometime Archbishop of Hartford. He served as the archbishop from 1968 till his sudden death in 1991. For me, Archbishop Whealon was a model priest and a somewhat iconic figure in Connecticut.

May the Good Shepherd be merciful and grant him peace.
