| Remembrance (Written by Mark S. Smith): Kevin G. O'Connell, S.J. |
A remembrance written by Mark Smith. Kevin O'Connell, S.J., and I met at Harvard Divinity School in January, 1979. In his Hebrew Rapid Reading course, we tackled Exodus (he was an expert on this biblical book). A demanding teacher, Kevin was unfailingly patient in explaining Hebrew and no less generous with his time. Kevin was also a natural at saying Mass and serving people. On Sundays I would attend the Mass that he provided at Weston School of Theology. It would be a small group of about 15 people, and Kevin delighted in everyone. Read more...
