Fr. Jorge Gomez and Mr. Stanley Kariuki, R.I.P.

Today the Diocese of Tulsa lost a new and vibrant priest, Fr. Jorge Gomez, and a Kenyan-born seminarian, Stanley Kariuki.  The St. Meinrad family has lost two close friends and brothers.


Please keep Fr. Jorge and Stanley, their families and loved ones, and the Diocese of Tulsa in your thoughts and prayers.  Eternal Rest grant unto them, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them.  May they rest in peace.

  8. O Lord God! You are so great and full of mercy. Kindly forgive your servants their sins here on earth and grant them eternal rest. We loved these two great guys Rev.Fr. Gomez George Alphonce and Seminarian Stanly Kariuki, but your love surpasses that of ours. It is sad and hard to believe but it is a reality. May the good Lord keep their family together during this trying moment. R.I.P great men of God and the men of cloth. I will miss you always my brothers!

  9. Fr. Jorge was a deacon at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Evansville, In for over a year, while he was going to school at St. Meinrad. Our parish was blest to have opportunity to learn from him, and visa versa. God loved us all through him.
