I forgot to look at the schedule earlier, I've been caring for 6 of our grandchildren since last week but those who are not able to make it at least can be united in their prayers for Fr. Collins' soul. Before anyone ask, there is no clergy listed but there should be pictures on time.

Is This Father Denis McMahon? Or another Father McMahon?
.
I too am wondering this, so hopefully someone can confirm.

Here's praying for more humble and charitable traditional Catholic priests like Fr. Collins...

Because of numerous bad experiences, I had given up all trust in traditional Catholic priests until meeting him and his becoming my confessor...

God rest his soul...

He will be sorely missed...  😔

On that note...  Fr. Collins really loved, trusted and respected John Sharpe more than almost anyone else I know.  I believe this is the reason he made him his executor of his will.  Father Collins would not want people fighting about what was to be done for him but he probably forsaw it happening regardless of who was in charge.  So, he picked John because he knew John would not waiver in fulfilling his last requests no matter the pressure or detraction of others.  God bless John Sharpe andhis family for their loyalty, love and support to Fr. Collins!

Is there a reason the identity of the celebrant seems to be a closely guarded secret?

Childish cloak-and-dagger games no doubt.
