During his final year at Bishop Ford, he, along with three other brothers, opened an experimental friary in a private home a few blocks from the school, the focus of which was to live as simply as possible, in order to contribute excess money to charity.

Father Francis M. Lynch, former pastor, parish priest and high school seminary teacher, died April 11 at the Hospice of West Palm Beach, Fla. He was living in Florida in retirement. He was 83.

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated April 16 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Astoria.

Retired Auxiliary Bishop Guy Sansaricq was the main celebrant of the funeral Mass. Special concelebrants included Auxiliary Bishop Paul R. Sanchez, Msgr. Sean G. Ogle and Fathers Joseph Pham, Paul C. Palmiotto and Donald M. Berran, who preached the homily.

“Father Lynch was a very good priest. He loved his priesthood and the people he served,” Father Berran said. “He was always social. He rooted for the underdog, and he wasn’t afraid to go against the system and stand up for what was right.”

Father Berran became friends with Father Lynch while they were students at Cathedral College 63 years ago. When Father Berran was ordained, Father Lynch preached at his first Mass and again at his 25th anniversary Mass.

Father Lynch had a great sense of humor, an appreciation for opera and enjoyed sports, particularly playing tennis, Father Berran noted.

In their younger years, they traveled to Europe, Scandinavia and Puerto Rico together. Most recently, they kept in touch on current events, family news and diocesan happenings through regular telephone calls. They last spoke the day before Father Lynch died. Those telephone calls are what Father Berran says he will miss the most.

Born in Jackson Heights, Father Lynch attended St. Joan of Arc School; Regis H.S., Manhattan; Cathedral College, Brooklyn; and Immaculate Conception Seminary, Huntington, L.I. He was ordained June 1, 1957 by Bishop John J. Boardman at St. James Pro-Cathedral, Downtown Brooklyn.

He served as an assistant at St. Charles Borromeo, Brooklyn Heights, 1957-63, and then was appointed to the faculty of Cathedral Prep Seminary, Elmhurst, where he taught until 1967.

He assisted at St. James Pro-Cathedral, 1966-67; St. Luke, Whitestone, 1967-71; Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, Bayside, 1971-87; St. Joan of Arc, Jackson Heights, 1987-88; and Resurrection-Ascension, Rego Park, 1991-93.

He was pastor at St. Nicholas, Williamsburg, 1988-91; and at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Astoria, 1993-2001.

Retired Bishop Arthur J. O’Neill of Rockford, Ill., died April 27 at his residence. He was 95 and recently celebrated 70 years in the priesthood.

He was appointed bishop of Rockford Aug. 19, 1968, becoming the first native-born priest of the diocese to serve as its bishop. He served in the position for more than 25 years until retiring in 1994.

Rockford Bishop David J. Malloy said in an interview on a Rockford radio station that Bishop O’Neill’s tenure as bishop occurred during a time of social upheavals and challenges in American society.

Bishop O’Neill has been “impacting our spiritual and, in a particular way, our family lives,” he said. “It is greatly to his credit that he kept everyone on the same page (and those benefits have) passed on to Bishop Doran and, frankly, to me, and I’m very, very grateful for that.”

Bishop O’Neill was a strong advocate for Catholic communications efforts. He became editor of The Observer, the diocesan newspaper, in 1954 and served in the position until 1968. Other media-related efforts included the establishment of the Office of Communication and a weekly television Catholic Mass for shut-ins.

Bishop Aloysius Jin Luxian of Shanghai, a prominent and controversial figure in the Chinese Catholic Church, died April 27 of pancreatic cancer. He was 96.

In a 2007 article in The Atlantic monthly, he was described as “arguably the most influential and controversial figure in Chinese Catholicism of the last 50 years.”

In the early 1980s, the bishop, who spent 18 years in a Chinese prison, made the decision to cooperate with the Chinese government, which strove to exercise control over the Church through organs such as “patriotic associations,” including one for Catholics.

Bishop Jin was elected auxiliary of Shanghai in December, 1984, and was ordained the next month, without the approval of the Vatican. He became bishop of Shanghai in 1989 but did not reconcile his status with the Vatican until early in the 21st century, according to information on the diocesan website.

Deacon Matt Oellinger, liaison for senior priests, said that Msgr. Cooney “was a very spiritual and holy priest. He loved the young people especially at St. Francis Prep and as spiritual director and advisor at Cathedral Prep in Elmhurst.”

He explained that Msgr. Cooney also was known for a vast collection of joke books. “He had a wonderful sense of humor,” said the deacon.

“He was a very holy man … a fine man and a great priest. He was a good listener and could make you feel better.”

“I’m not sure there is a word that can describe how really ‘good’ he was.”

When St. Francis Prep announced the death on its website, it immediately filled with tributes from former students thanking Msgr. Cooney for his guidance, counsel and understanding as well as his “corny” jokes.

Auxiliary Bishop Octavio Cisneros was the main celebrant of the funeral Mass. Among the special concelebrants was Father Eugene Coyle.

Father O’Donoghue was known for his kindness, especially to young people and often brought the youth of his parish on trips to the beach or amusement parks. For many of the children, those trips were the only times they would get to go since their parents worked several jobs just to pay the bills.

Victor LoGuise, now 50, recalls being an altar server for Father O’Donoghue at St. Andrew Avellino. He said Father O’Donoghue was like a father to him and he never would have had the opportunity to take those fun trips had it not been for him.

Father O’Donoghue often went out in the community, walking the streets of the neighborhood just to say hello to people. He was a very people- and family-oriented priest, according to funeral director Jim MacDonald.

Later in his life, as his health deteriorated, Father O’Donoghue lost his sight and could no longer get around and celebrate Mass.

“He (Father O’Donoghue) took it very hard because he loved saying Mass,” said Deacon Matt Oellinger, liaison for senior priests. “But he was a good priest and decent man, and that is how he should be remembered.”

Burial was in St. Charles Cemetery, Farmingdale, L.I.
