Bro. Robert McCann's funeral is taking place here at Narragansett, with a wake in The Blue Room this afternoon (Friday, February 2) from 2:30 - 5:30 and this evening from 7 to 9. The Mass will be at the Chapel of Our Lady Star of the Sea here at CBC at 11 am, with burial to follow immediately.
Bro. Robert was born in Providence in 1930 and entered the Brothers in Barrytown NY in 1948. He held a BA from Catholic University in Sociology and an MS from Fordham in Social Welfare.
His amazing career began at La Salle School, Albany and, at nine different junctures of his life, he was called back there for ministry. He taught and adminstered at CBA, Albany, and he was principal both at Sacred Heart School in the Bronx and Queen of Peace HS in NJ over the years. Additional ministries included vocation work, Director General of CBC, Narragansett, and being Auxiliary Visitor of the Toronto Delegation. His was a wonderful career of service, leadership and touching hearts.
In December, he moved into the Jeanne Jugan Residence, conducted so warmly by the Little Sisters of the Poor. It was the final home for his mother, as well.
Thank you, Robert, for your life of loving presence and ministry. May you rest in peace. Amen.
