Mrs. Keene and family, Sending you deepest sympathy and many prayers for you and Fr. Ken. We are very grateful for his ‘fiat’ to begin the Family Eucharistic Holy Hour program at Holy Trinity. Through his ‘fiat’ to have the program filmed in 2016, millions of people throughout the world have the opportunity to pray to unite families together in prayer through the Eternal World Television Network (EWTN). We are thankful for Fr. Ken’s legacy and the impact it will have globally. May His soul Rest In the Peace and Mercy of God. With love and prayers, Pat Polachek and the Foundation of Jesus The Divine Mercy

Dear Alvie and Family, So sorry to hear of Fr. Ken’s passing. He was just the best. My best memory of him was his visit to our house to hear our confession and bring us communion during illness. But most of all his coming to the Cemetery of the Alleghenies two days, the first was George’s service and the next day George’s burial.I know he is with Our Lord. May he Rest In Peace. ✝️

Dear Alvie, I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed when Father Ken came on First Fridays. He always had a smile on his face and put a smile on my face. There will be a big void in our lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
