Knight of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem

 

On September 22, 2012, at a formal ceremony at the Church of Our Lady of the Lake in Lake Ozark, Missouri, I was made a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. This is an order of chivalry that dates back to the Crusades and continues to this day in the Church as a papal honor. It functions principally now to support the growth in faith and holiness of its members and to offer spiritual and temporal support to the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Christians of the Holy Land. Here is a description of the order from the website of the Holy See. Here is the order's own website. Remember from now on that we have a family connection to the cause of peace in the Holy Land and pray that I don't ever have to ride a horse over there.

Memorial Mass

On Memorial Day, Monday May 30th, I will celebrate a Memorial Mass for the three members of our family who died this past year—Uncle Bob, Aunt Betty Jane, and Tim. The Mass will be at St. John’s Church in Plaza Square downtown, the same Church where we had the Memorial Mass for Aunt Peggy Brennan last year. The Mass will be at 9:00 AM, followed by coffee and donuts in the parish hall. The entrance to the parking lot for St. John’s is on Pine St. If you are able to come, could you please let me know so I can make a reasonable guess at how many donuts to get? Hope to see as many as possible that morning.

Timothy

Timothy Patrick Brennan died Monday, March 21, 2011 at the age of 61, surrounded by his family.

Loving husband of 39 years to Janice; dear father of Sarah Brennan, Kerry (Arielle) Brennan, Rory Brennan; dear grandfather of Padraig Isagani Brennan; beloved son of the late Jack and Peggy Brennan; beloved brother of Barb (Jack) Basile, Missey (Tom) Wilhelm, Patty Patch, Mike (Lisa) Brennan, Jack Brennan, Marty (Desi) Brennan, Mary (Scott) Loew, Anne (Doug) Brewer, Matt (Lucy) Brennan; beloved uncle of 15, dear cousin, brother-in-law, nephew, and friend to everyone who knew him.

Tim was a RNFA for the St. Louis Heart Institute for 23 years, and thoroughly enjoyed his work. Special thanks to Dr. Gordon Knight, for their long partnership and his care and concern for Tim and his family.

Tim loved fly-fishing on the Current and the Yellowstone rivers, and deep sea fishing trips with his boys in the Gulf of Mexico; he loved music and was an avid guitarist. He loved to cook and barbeque for family and friends. He was proud of the renovation of his home, officially recognized by the Landmark Commission of the City of Kirkwood as the “Brennan Residence, 1915”.

Funeral Mass was Thursday, March 24, 10:00 a.m. at St. Peter Catholic Church in Kirkwood.

The family plans a memorial service when Fr. Larry is home in May, with internment at Jefferson Barracks.

Brian J Brennan Sr. Health Update

Greetings to all,
I want to Thank You for all of the thoughts and prayers bestowed upon me. By the grace of God and the help of doctors, family and friends I am Cancer Free and healthy today. I am back to work fulltime, currently working mainly from home due to the cold weather. The only side effect I still have is a slight nueropothy, tingling in my hands and feet and I'm a freezy cat now. This should be a temporary condition. I'll update again after my set of DR.'s appointments.

Love to All,
Brian :-)
