In Memoriam — Deceased Ministry Leaders, 2005-2006

July-August 2006

Each year at the Catholic Health Assembly, attendees remember deceased individuals who have served in the Catholic health ministry. At the 91st assembly-held in Orlando, FL, this year-ministry leaders once again gathered in prayer to pay tribute to their colleagues who had died within the past year. The names of the deceased are printed here. In gratefulness for their service to Catholic health care, we honor their memory.
