Catholics on Long Island are remembering their former shepherd.
On Tuesday, the Diocese of Rockville Centre said goodbye to Bishop Emeritus William Murphy at a Mass of Christian Burial at the Cathedral of St. Agnes.
Brooklyn Bishop Robert Brennan delivered the homily and shared a personal connection to the Long Island bishop.
In a statement after the announcement of Bishop Murphy’s passing, Bishop Brennan said, “I had the privilege of learning so much from him and enjoying his friendship. And I know that for many other bishops in the United States, he was to them also a mentor and friend.”
