Bishop Edyvean, former auxiliary bishop of Boston, dies: Bishop Peter Uglietto, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Boston, announced Feb. 3 that Most Reverend Walter J. Edyvean, retired auxiliary bishop of Boston, passed to the Lord in the evening of Feb. 2.


What I remember best about  him was how kind he was to my "cloistered brothers."  He came to confirm those catechumens who were ready.  Of course, going through the security to get in was the usual hassle and he was good-natured about it.  He laughed when he took apart his crozier.  It was pure silver!  And I held it for him while he shook hands and greeted everyone.



I will pray that he rests with the Good Shepherd.
