Message received morning of 15th April
It is with great sadness of heart and with hope in the Resurrection that we share the news that our beloved brother and friend Fr. John Kearns died this afternoon in the company of his loved ones. May Jesus welcome him and bring comfort to those who will grieve his passing so deeply. John was a beautiful person and an inspiring priest. "Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. St. Paul of the Cross, pray for John.
I write to inform you that our brother, Fr. John Kearns, the Provincial of St. Joseph’s Province (England/ Wales/Sweden) has been diagnosed with a serious illness.
Please feel free to share this news, particularly with those members of your entity who participated in the last General Chapter 2018, as they would have met John there. More importantly, I appeal to you to join me in praying each day for Fr. John, that he may be strengthened in his faith and hope to live through this moment of passion and, in particular, asking God’s intervention to grant a miracle in this need through the intercession of Blessed Dominic Barberi.
Fr. Joachim Rego, C.P. Rome, February 5, 2021 Superior General
