Peace to You!
I hope this email finds you well.

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of Fr John Coleman, who died last evening, August 2, 2022, at the age of 75. He was born in Southern California on May 30, 1947. Since his ordination to the priesthood for the Diocese of Phoenix on June 4, 1988, Fr. John has served the Diocese in various capacities and in many of our local parishes; among these: he was pastor at St. Maria Goretti Parish, Christ the King Parish, St. Andrew the Apostle Parish (2007 - 2015), and the founding Pastor of St. Clare of Assisi in Surprise. After 27 years in ministry, he retired on December 21, 2015.

As we await further information on his funeral services, let us remember Fr. John Coleman in our prayers and Mass intentions in the coming days.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Rev Fr Teilo M Lwande AJ
Pastor
