RIP Fred McNair

This morning at Mass, we learned that a fellow parishioner, Fred McNair, passed away this weekend unexpectedly in Mexico City attending a conference. It is with great sadness that I share this news. Mr. McNair was very very active in our parish, with Relevant Radio and so many more thing we don’t even know. He was a daily communicant and that is where we know him best always praying for “an increase in God’s call to the priesthood and religious life and for all vocations.”

There is a certain intimacy that comes with sharing daily Mass. You see this little family daily, or at least frequently enough that you ‘know’ each other. And when one person in this family is gone, their physical presence is missed. We know he will be missed by many and we know through the Mass and communion of saints we are still united with our brother in Christ.

Evelyn, his wife, has asked us to pray for her and Fred’s father, and their children and grandchildren. Please also pray that they will be able to receive his body back from the Mexican government this week for his funeral.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord. And may your perpetual light shine upon him.
