Saying Goodbye to Fr Hannon

Father Hannon passed away 10 days ago, and we're really missing him here at CatholicTV. He has been celebrating Mass with us for over 30 years and has brightened our lives for all that time. His funeral was celebrated on Friday across the street at St Patrick's in Watertown.

He was scheduled to celebrate Mass for us today, and Father Thomas Kopp from Sudbury kindly stepped up to take over his Mass. He was joined by Mary and Dan Farrell, Fr Hannon's sister and brother-in-law, who always joined Fr Hannon for Mass. He offered the Mass for Fr Hannon and also paid tribute to him in his homily, which you can watch below. Thanks for your prayers for Fr Hannon and his family, especially Mary and Dan.

Wisdom from Dorothy Day | Wisdom Wednesday

In his homily today, Father Daniel Mahoney talked about outreach to outcasts, and spoke about the life and work of Servant of God Dorothy Day, convert and founder of the Catholic Worker movement.
People would ask what drove her to work so tirelessly among the poor, the addicted, and the outcast in society. And she always said, we are here for them because we are the ones in need. We are here because we are hungry for God. We're the ones who are hungry. And Dorothy Day wrote in her book how so many people often said to her - how nice it is that you feed the poor. But she always would say- 'I know in my own heart, I am the one being fed by Jesus Christ'.
Check out Fr Mahoney's whole homily below:
