Grant him eternal rest, Lord.

Please remember a priest friend who died yesterday at the age of 58 at the end of another school day at Gonzaga High School in Washington, DC.  Fr. Allen Novotny had led this DC Jesuit school for a number of years so successfully continuing the legacy of Fr. Bernie Dooley and in creating his own legacy for the "Eye Street Boys."  Yes, I was one of them.  What a shock and sudden loss for the Jesuit and Gonzaga communities.  Eternal rest grant unto Allen, your faithful and dedicated priest, Lord.
