Chapel Crucifix

 

Head Chaplain Rev. Paul Raftery, O.P., reports the sad news that Matthew Reiser (™00) passed away at 5:20 this afternoon. Fr. Paul was at his hospital bedside, as was Matt™s wife, Sharon (Raskob ™99), and Matt™s mother and stepfather. œMatt died peacefully,� says Fr. Paul. œIt was a great privilege to be there. We said prayers for the dying, the Rosary, sang the ˜Salve Regina.™ Along with the great difficulty of the death, there was deep consolation from the faith, and peace.�

Please pray for the repose of Matt™s soul and the consolation of Sharon and their families. œSharon knew of everyone™s prayers and loving concern,� says Fr. Paul, œand wants everyone to know of the great consolation she is receiving from you all.�

May his soul, and those of all the faithful departed, rest in peace,
