Interesting that the clergy to actually offer Father Collins' Requiem Mass is still not named.
:laugh1: What do you expect - a news conference?

I feel bad over this, as Father was a very close friend of mine, but I’m not changing my plans again to attend next week. Things are not set in stone (many things are “tentative”) and I’m not certain that there won’t be anymore changes. I’ve had masses offered for the repose of his soul and I will continue to pray for him.
Haven't decided yet, but ...at this point...I would be surprised if there weren't anymore changes.

I know how much you cared for him and he knew it too, so don’t feel badly if you decide not to make it.

That seems like a very good option.
I’m seriously confused.  Donations from the public are being requested??  I was forwarded a copy of an email that is making the rounds saying that Father Collins left sufficient funds to take care of remaining medical bills and funeral expenses!  I will not be donating and would very strongly caution anyone else who is considering it.

I don't know about the medical/funeral expenses.  However, there are travel arrangements (plane flights, etc.) to be made for priests/bishop.  Then there's housing them, feeding them, stipends, etc.

The funds left by Fr. Collins may not be available/earmarked for such "extras".

At the end of the day, it's not just a matter of paying the hospital and the funeral home.
