Death of Jim Noonan
Yesterday morning I woke up to messages that Fr. Jim Noonan had died during the Cambodian night. Jim was a Maryknoll priest who served in Cambodia from 1991 to 2009. He and I lived together for several years, and he was one of the finest people and finest priests I know. We will miss him a lot. Here we have his picture before the altar as we set up for our liturgy with our regular Wednesday meeting today.
