BLOOMFIELD – For 26 men and women, May 7 was a special night, as Archbishop Henry J. Mansell presented certificates of commission to new lay ministers. But for the family of one man who died before he could complete the formation program, the ceremonies at the Archdiocesan Center at St. Thomas Seminary were bittersweet.
Francis Revay, a parishioner at St. Catherine Parish in Broad Brook, died on Holy Thursday, April 1, at age 78. His children, Kathleen Hart, Michelle Simmons and John Revay, received their father’s certificate of commission from Archbishop Mansell, who whispered words of condolence to each of them.
