<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I wanted to pass along to you the news of the passing of Fr. Gregory Paul, C.P. In addition to ministering at the Holy Family Passionist Retreat Center in West
Hartford, he was known by many NFB members as a priest who ministered to Dr. Kenneth Jernigan near the time of his passing and to his wife, as an offerer of invocations at NFB National Conventions, as the celebrant of many Roman Catholic Masses at National
Conventions, and as a dedicated shepherd who believed deeply in the capacity and capabilities of blind people. Forwarded is the announcement from the retreat center where he worked for over 15 years and from which he entered as much retirement as he wanted.
The funeral will be tomorrow morning at 11:00 at the retreat center; it will also be livestreamed, and a link is provided.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Here in Connecticut, our NFB affiliate also hosted Fr. Gregory Paul at at least one of our state conventions—at which he also gave an invocation. And I can attest
that he was a diligent recruiter of blind people that he met to the Federation. I—and many times my wife—regularly attended events at the retreat center; though he may not have recognized me—or us—as having met before, when he saw our white canes he always
asked if we had heard of the National Federation of the Blind. You will also find the obituary linked in the forwarded e-mail, and we can be sure that he is looking down upon us, along with his parishioner Dr. Jernigan, smiling at the comment that he always
called everyone “by name—though not always the correct name!”…and the irony of the author’s name of the organization of blind people that he so loved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
