Burial of a Saintly Franciscan Priest – Father Alphonsus Mary Sutton
The moral theologian Fr Alphonsus Mary Sutton of the Franciscans of the Immaculate went to his eternal reward last month on May 7, 2011.
If I understand correctly, Father Alphonsus was raised Baptist, but converted to the Catholic Faith as a young man. Ordained in 1957, he joined the Conventual Franciscans and then the Franciscans of the Immaculate in 1990. He enjoyed his 50th priestly anniversary in 2007. He was an expert on his namesake, Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Doctor of the Church in the realm of moral theology.
Please pray for the repose of his soul. And given the reputation of his profound sanctity, you might even ask him to pray for you.
All holy Franciscans, pray for us.
