The Knights of Columbus Council 9312 join in solidarity with our clergy, religious and laity as we, the faithful of the Diocese of Phoenix, mourn the death of the Most Rev. Thomas J. O'Brien.

We extend our condolences to his family, especially those close to him, who live in the Phoenix area.

The diocese has released a statement, biography and the funeral arrangements, which will be held Thursday and Friday, at St. Mary's Basilica in Downtown Phoenix.

Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
