Fr. Michael Jordan, R.I.P.

Our SOLT community received the sad news this morning that our dear priest Fr. Mike Jordan died this morning in a car accident. His companion in the car, Fr. Ed Roche, is hospitalized at this time and is undergoing surgery.

Fr. Mike was a well-known and beloved priest in the SOLT community. He will be remembered for his joyful service, tireless pro-life work and willing heart.

Details of his funeral will be forthcoming. Please keep Fr. Mike and his friends and loved ones in your prayers as well as Fr. Ed.

UPDATE: Fr. Mike was laid to rest on Saturday in Corpus Christi, TX. Hundreds of mourners filled the cathedral for the funeral Mass as well as over 40 priests. Fr. Mike will be missed and never forgotten.

Sister, I will keep all three of you and the entire SOLT community in my prayers. At times like these, it is a challenge for me to remember to pray for trust in His Will. But I also sneak in a request to give Grace to those who are left in sorrow.
