In your kindness please pray for the repose of the soul of a friend of mine, Msgr. Ralph Belluomini who died recently.
He was a priest of the Diocese of Fresno, and, not a young man, he succumbed to cancer.

“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

Thank you for the post Father Z. “Fr. Ralph” was considered our family priest. As you said not a young man, but prior to his final trial was always on the go and was a 24/7/365 priest available for anyone and at any time. As you know from your time with him, he had integrated the Extraordinary, Ordianry, Spanish and Korean Masses in one parish by himself. every event at the mission was attended by members of all the parish communities. When he had the mission, he did all that and made hospital calls and home sick calls to his parishoners. He was a mans man and a priests priest. Old School and proud of it.
Requiescat in Pace
Of course.
He will be in my prayers
Of course, Father. Please know also that I pray for priests, including always yourself, with deep focus every Tuesday and Thursday as I say my morning rosary. May God bless, guide and protect you all, and may you all meet together again in Heaven!
Dear Father Z.
I have prayed a heartfelt prayer for Msgr. Ralph Belluomini, for yourself, and for all Priests everywhere.
God Bless you and may His Peace rest with you always.
Maria
So sorry to hear about your friend. I will be keeping him (and also you) in my prayers.
