PROOF In Memoriam

Listed below are the most recent notifications of our deceased brother alumni. The Alumni Association has arranged for a Mass to be celebrated in the College Chapel for our deceased brothers. All alumni are encouraged to remember in prayer and at a Mass our deceased brother alumni. News comes to us in very different ways about the passing of our alumni. Sometimes classmates are very good about sending in photographs and internet links to newspaper notices. Although not all the information we receive can be reprinted in the newsletter, it is all available on our website. We regret that space limitations do not allow us to give more ample obituaries of our alumni. For complete obituaries go to our website at pnacalumni.org.
