An astonishing number of clergy, including three Bishops, concelebrated his funeral. There were about 14 clergy on the altar, many of whom were not expected. The theme was &quot;The Good Shepherd&quot;. The funeral was taped, and I&#39;ve started the youtube tape near the very end of the service, as the chief celebrant, Bishop Farrell, gave a wonderful short summation and tribute to Fr. Brennan and our parish. And some pictures below if you scroll down &#8211; unfortunately I was unable to get any pictures of the congregation.<\/p>\n<p>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Ve4H6wrEjo?start=6137\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a30d45c2e3200b-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"> <\/a><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85de7200c-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2022_07_24 11_02 AM Office Lens (2)\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85de7200c img-responsive\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85de7200c-500wi\" style=\"width: 448px;\" title=\"2022_07_24 11_02 AM Office Lens (2)\" \/><\/a><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a30d45c2e3200b-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a30d45c258200b-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20220722_103145\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834525a2f69e202a30d45c258200b img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a30d45c258200b-500wi\" style=\"width: 480px;\" title=\"20220722_103145\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85d3f200c-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20220722_103140\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85d3f200c img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85d3f200c-500wi\" style=\"width: 480px;\" title=\"20220722_103140\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85d4a200c-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20220722_105142 (2)\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85d4a200c img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85d4a200c-500wi\" style=\"width: 480px;\" title=\"20220722_105142 (2)\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85d57200c-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20220722_104745\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85d57200c img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a308d85d57200c-500wi\" style=\"width: 480px;\" title=\"20220722_104745\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And these were scanned off photos at the wake Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a2eece62bb200d-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2022_07_21 7_39 PM Office Lens\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d834525a2f69e202a2eece62bb200d img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfaranda.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d834525a2f69e202a2eece62bb200d-500wi\" style=\"width: 480px;\" title=\"2022_07_21 7_39 PM Office Lens\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fr.
