In Loving Memory: Rev. Michael J. Sheehan, Pastor Emeritus
UPDATED NOVEMBER 19, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that our beloved Pastor Emeritus, Fr. Mike, entered into eternal rest on November 17, 2025. Fr. Mike touched countless lives here at St. Peter’s — through his gentleness, his humor, his wisdom, and the way he walked with so many of us in faith. His presence shaped our parish in lasting ways, and he will be deeply missed.
Please keep Fr. Mike and his family in your prayers. May Christ welcome him into the fullness of peace.
