I am sure of it. If he is not, then who can make Heaven? Therefore he is. So, it is in order not only to pray for his soul but to pray to him for intercession for us, still here, to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If you believe when praying to him, you will see the miracle quickly but if you don't, well; faith is necessary for miracles. This is entering 2020 and I am still reeling from his passing. A part of me is gone just like when I lost my dad and mum. I loved and love Father Michael Sepp, a servant of God in Christ. He brought out the best and holiest in me and many. He brought out prayerfulness and even a modicum of holiness in my sinful life. He drew many to all night prayer vigils. I call him my older brother and will always miss him. His passing is one of the greatest hurts and shocks of my life. Then his mother passed shortly after. A family that has given so much to the Christian faith and all of them were turned into Ministers wherever Father Michael worked. They gave materially and their time, talents and treasures to the Churches. The family would contribute renovation jobs and such to help parishes. He was a holy man. We saw him adopt and as I learnt, eventually nurture Lorenzo as a son into the Catholic holy Priesthood, another of his numerous pure miracles blessed by God. A SAINTHOOD CAUSE IS IN ORDER FOR FATHER MICHAEL SEPP, if not inevitable.

hi j...Email from Jim McClean barrackst@hotmail.com<br /><br />hi joe came across you on bronxcatholicblog while searching for info on 975 Summit and the chapel opposite on Ogden where I was an altar boy from July 1958 to end of March 59 when we went back to Ireland due to my mom having difficulty with the immigrant life in NYC and missing her own mom with whom we lived in Belfast prior to emigrating.<br /><br /> I was very friendly with the custodian of St Eugene's Mr Spillane and particularly his son John as we were in the same class at Sacred Heart- Bro Louis was our teacher. My younger bro attended there as well and I was aged ten while my sister 3 yrs older went to the convent school. She became very friendly with a girl Paticia O'Reilly who had an older bro Tom, but I don't think he wrote the story of Highbridge.<br /><br /> Back in Belfast I went back to my old school, St Gall's, also under the La Salle Bros and lost contact with John Spillane although I saw him in an 8th grade class photo in a Sacred Heart yearbook I came across online but I would love to meet him again.<br /><br /> My dad worked for Dellwood Dairies in Yonkers and the family who were our building's supers were the Cash family, parents originally from Ireland and I accidentally met the older son John at an Irish music event in Toronto in 1995 or 1996 and we have been friendly ever since ;he visited us in Ireland and we him in Florida.<br /><br /> I am teacher of History and English with the Irish Christian Bros but have had a great interest in the States and visited there often and think a lot of my time in the Bronx, what would have happened if we had stayed and would we have been sent to Nam. I enjoyed reading your blog and if you can help me search for John Spillane in anyway I'd appreciate greatly. <br /><br /> jim McClean<br /><br />ps the priest i/c of the altar boys was FR Carroll a tall spectacled swarthy retired and in a wheel chair aged 95 about 3 yrs ago, slan agus BeannachtJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290657092471932129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397857000171561782.post-81518645966282609632010-04-02T10:22:54.927-07:002010-04-02T10:22:54.927-07:00Sacred Heart will have an 8 am Traditional Latin M...Sacred Heart will have an 8 am Traditional Latin Mass on Easter Sunday 2010.<br />This is probably the first public extraordinary form Mass since before 1969.Viator Catholicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204415401649604636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397857000171561782.post-75352743262230179872009-03-21T23:16:00.000-07:002009-03-21T23:16:00.000-07:00PASTOR OF SACRED HEART CHURCH (HIGHBRIDGE) FR.
