Deacon Adam Crowe, who was to receive priestly ordination this spring, has instead unexpectedly gone to his reward. He was in his final year of formation at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood, PA. We pray for his family, friends and his brother seminarians. As you can imagine, this is a great and personal loss for our bishop and diocese.
While I was not personally a friend of Adam's (I had met him a couple of times), those who were had nothing but admiration for his wholesome "realness." We already had plans to "kidnap" him for next year's March for Life. How the youth love to have a young priest on their pilgrimage!
This is a sad reminder of our mortality, but also of the value of cherishing what is truly important.
Rest in peace, good man.

I still have trouble believing that Adam has left us. I was not able to leave my parish to fly to NY for the funeral. I will offer many Masses for the happy repose of his soul.
