Mark was a very dear friend during undergraduate years at Georgetown University. We had many classes together and enjoyed lengthy conversations. We lost touch after graduation but I remember him fondly. Condolences go out to his family, friends and those who knew him. He was a brilliant man with a good heart.
Our prayers and thoughts are with Father Connelly. We meet him in high school and knew he was destined to serve the Lord.he will be sorely missed.
Always enjoyed your wit and humor while you delivered the message of God. You will be missed in our community.
God Bless!
Father Mark, You were a gifted speaker, a humble and Gentle Man, and a wonderful priest. You have touched the lives of many in the parish. I will miss you.
Forty years of friendship, conversations in two languages (always punctuated by laughter), early years (!) of dancing--how you enriched my and my family's lives! Addio, amico mio.
Rest in peace Father Mark. You will be missed at St. Jude.
We' ll miss you very much....you were the best!
He was my friend, as I was his, although we never met.
We shared a similar medical problem (I think). Some day we'll have our delayed meeting.
Although we've just recently moved to Lewes, we were blessed to attend several masses celebrated by Fr. Mark. A humble and wise man, whose homilies we truly enjoyed.
We were saddened to hear of Fr. Marks's passing, but take comfort in knowing he is now wih our Lord Jesus in His heavenly kingdom.
Thank you Father Mark for watching over us. Now you will be watching over us from heaven. Our prayers go out to you and your family.
