    • Fr. Patrick Gerard (Gerry) Frawley S.A.C.
      Dec 13th 1940 – May 23rd 2022

      It is with great sadness we share the news of the death of Fr. Gerry who was born in his beloved Knockaderry, County Limerick, Ireland.

      After Secondary school, Fr Gerry entered the Pallottine Seminary in Thurles, County Tipperary. Fr Gerry made his First Consecration on September 12, 1963, and was ordained a priest on June 8, 1968, in the Cathedral in Thurles. His first assignment after ordination was to Makiungu Parish in Tanzania, East Africa. While there he also served in Singida Parish and Kirondotal & Kiomboi. He did an enormous amount of work during his time on the missions. Fr. Gerry put new seats in the old church, but now there is a beautiful cathedral in Singida. Fr Gerry was very kind and outgoing in nature. He was a favorite with young and old alike. He could spend hours getting stories out of the old men and women. While Fr Gerry was in Makiungu he endeared himself to all. He was completely selfless and always ready to help.

      In 1972, he was reassigned to London, England as associate pastor in the Pallottine Parishes of Barking & Greenford prior to being transferred to The United States in 1976, where he brought the same selfless qualities. His first appointment in the United States was to Ely, Nevada. In 1979 he was moved to Idalou/Lorenzo, Texas; in 1985 to Stephenville, Texas and in 1990 Fr. Gerry was appointed to St. Joseph Parish in Wyandotte, Michigan where he served for 10 years.

      During that time Fr Gerry made many lifelong friends. While ministering in St. Joseph Parish Fr. Gerry undertook the task of building the parish hall and made it his goal to visit every family in the parish. With his great encouragement and kind words Fr. Gerry served everyone. He was kind and caring to all, never having a cross word to say. In the year 2000 Fr. Gerry left St. Joseph Parish to continue his ministry at St. Nicholas, Capac & St. John the Evangelist, Allenton, Michigan; Saint Aloysius Gonzaga in Romulus; Saint Christopher, Detroit, Michigan, and in 2009 Fr. Gerry was blessed to join St. Anne Church, Ortonville, Michigan. After 53 years of active ministry, Fr Gerry concluded his active ministry in September 2021.

      Throughout his years in ministry, Fr Gerry generously promoted and supported the Pallottine Foreign Missions. Fr Gerry will be deeply missed by his loving sisters Mary and Rena, his nieces and nephews as well as his Pallottine Community. Fr. Gerry was predeceased by his loving parents, Thomas and Kathleen and his brother Tom. Fr. Gerry will be deeply missed by his many friends and the parishioners he served in Wyandotte and throughout the world. He will be fondly remembered as a wonderful man and a dedicated priest. Fr Gerry recently said “The priesthood gave me inner peace. Becoming a priest has brought me a peace of mind that I cannot put into words. You can’t have inner peace all the time, rather there are situations in life that can disturb you—so I ask God every day for the gift of peace. There have been times I’ve struggled in life and times I’ve experienced some crosses too —but I never had any regrets about my calling”.

      Eternal Rest Grant unto him O Lord, and let your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.

      Well done good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of your Master. {Matthew 25:22-23}

    • How To Support Ukraine

    • Why give to Ukraine through Catholic Extension?

      Catholic Extension has supported the Ukrainian Catholic Church in America since 1979. The Ukrainian Catholic Church in America and Catholic Church in Ukraine are incredibly interconnected, not only spiritually but in mission.

      Our U.S. Ukrainian Catholic leaders know the situation in Ukrainian intimately, because their own family members, and brothers and sisters in faith are the ones being affected. Most importantly, they know where help is most needed. 

      “Whatever gifts or donations are given will be able to go directly to those who are the most in need,” said Bishop Bohdan Danylo, who leads the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy based in Parma, Ohio.

    • Fr. Craig’s Contemplations
      by Fr. Craig Marion
      5-22-2022--Jesus’ self-giving love is to be the pattern of our love for others. We open up the scriptures and we first hear from the 14th Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, we hear how the early church celebrated the Rite of Ordination, with one of the Apostles laying their hands upon the head of those who we designated as the earliest leaders of the ancient church.

    • Fr. Craig’s Contemplations
      by Fr. Craig Marion
      5-15-2022--We hear our Lord at the Last Supper, telling the eleven [remaining] apostles: “As I have loved you, love one another.” ALL WILL know that you are my disciples if you love another. Brothers and Sisters – each of us know, at certain times in our lives, this command “all will know you are my disciples if you love one another” – can be incredibly difficult.
