Dear St. Tom's family,
We received word from the Diocese this morning that Fr. Phil Bowers, former pastor of St. Tom's, passed away this morning at 3:38am. He was a greatly beloved priest by many and he will certainly be missed. Funeral plans are pending and we will pass them along when they become available.
Let us pray for the repose of Fr. Bowers and for comfort and consolation for all those who mourn his loss.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
Fr. Tom McDermott, O.P.
Pastor
