Dr. D’Arcy Atkins

May 10th, 2011

It is with great sadness that we announce the recent death of Dr. D’Arcy Atkins. D’Arcy, who gave over sixty years of service to Liturgical Music as an organist, enriched the liturgies both at St. Gabriel’s and St. Bonaventure’s Parishes with his music for the last seventeen years. We would like to express our sincere sympathies to his wife, Linda and her family. Our prayers and thoughts are with them.

His funeral will be held on Saturday, May 14th at 11:00 AM. There is no visitation.

There were no mega churches of big parishes where people get lost in numbers.
