On behalf of the Saint Francis of Assisi Parish Family, we extend our deepest sympathy to the Birmingham family who have lost a son, brother, and uncle. We share your deep sorrow as the Church has lost a gifted leader, and a man of wisdom and deep compassion. Bishop Kevin was a source of pride for our parish family. For four years he was Father Kevin, Associate Pastor to us and his ministry became a gift to the entire Archdiocese of Chicago. The Church of Chicago has lost a true shepherd, a humble servant and a holy man. Rest in peace, Bishop, Father, Brother and Friend; Enter the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Funeral arrangements are as follows:
Visitation - Friday, Oct. 6th
11a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Church of Our Lady of the Ridge
4 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Holy Name Cathedral
Funeral Mass Saturday, Oct. 7th:
11 a.m. at Holy Name Cathedral.
Please join us, here at St. Francis, on Sunday, October 8th at 4:00pm, for a memorial prayer service for
Bishop Kevin Birmingham.
