Dear St. Joan of Arc Parish Family,

We have been informed that our former pastor, Fr. Ray Larussa passed away on Thursday, November 26. At this time, we do not know the cause of his death, nor of any pending funeral arrangements. We will share more information as it becomes available. Please join me in prayer for Fr. Ray and all of the faithful departed.

All powerful and merciful God,

we commend to you Fr. Raymond Larussa, 

your servant.

In your mercy and love, 

blot out the sins he has committed

through human weakness.

In this world he has died:

let him live with you forever.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.

And let perpetual light shine upon him.

May he rest in peace.

Amen.

May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,

through the mercy of God,

rest in peace.

Amen.
