Volume 30 Issue 24 Thursday, June 13, 2013 50¢ Hope prevails at Martin’s memorial Mass Richard family greets neighbors, remembers a son, brother & friend By Bill Forry Editor An overflow crowd packed St. Ann Church in Neponset on Sunday morning for a celebration of the life of Martin Richard, a Dorchester boy who would have turned 9 this weekend if he had not been killed on April 15 by one of two bombs that exploded at the Boston Marathon. Seated in the front pew were his family: Parents Bill and Denise Richard, their elder son Henry— who read the second reading at the Liturgy— and Martin’s little sister, Jane, 7, who lost her left leg below the knee in the bomb attack. Jane wheeled herself around in a wheelchair — and won a standing ovation from the congregation as she pushed herself up St. Ann’s center aisle alongside her friend, Fr. Sean Connor. The St. Ann’s pastor con-celebrated the Mass with Bishop Robert Hennessey, Fr. Sean Connor, pastor of St. Ann Church, was joined by seven-year-old Jane Richard and scores of youngsters as he de- Rev.
