Memories and Condolences

Father Kelly was a great spiritual, as well as, moral support for Brother James Court in Springfield, IL where his brother Gene resided for many years. His Irish sense of humor was always welcome. May he rest in peace. Brother David Sarnecki, FFSC

When my father lived in our "old neighborhood," my sister and I called the St. Daniel Rectory for someone to anoint him. We interrupted Fr. Kelly's supper and he came to my dad's home right away. He tenderly gave communion to my dad and said the last rites. Just a few days later, Fr. Kelly prayed a beautiful funeral mass for my dad and talked about how Enoch had walked with God. Surely God was walking with Father Kelly throughout his priestly life. May the perpetual light shine on him as he joins all the saints in heaven.

Fr. Kelly was our Pastor at St.Philomeana for many years, during this time I served as a altar server. On November 20th 1982 Fr Kelly married Diane and I. We were again blessed to have Fr. Kelly say a special mass for us at our 25th grammer school reunion in 2002 where I was able to serve him at the altar once again. It is a memory I will cherish. Fr. Kelly may you rest in peace.

Fr Kelly was a wonderful support for the young men and family members of Brother James Court. He will be greatly missed. May he find eternal peace with the Lord.

Fr. Kelly was a gentle soul and loved his work as a priest.

"Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy." Matthew 25:23

May God rest your soul. You were a true friend and classmate to my uncle The Reverend George H.Cullen. Your kind and gentle way was a true inspiration to my mother Catherine for the care of her daughter Maureen. You will forever live in our hearts.
