I remember when Bishop O'Donnell was pastor of Notre Dame. I was in high school and several of us would go to that decrepit old gym in Wellston to play floor hockey with Fr. O'Donnell. He actually speared me once! Great memories. I'm saddened by his passing. Since I'm no longer in St. Louis, I might have missed this, so thank you for posting this.

Bishop O'Donnell was my pastor at Immacolata parish and was a kind man. Please pray for him!
