With great sadness, we share the passing of Mr. Robert Casey, founder and director of The St. Genesius Players from 1984 to 2012. Without Mr. Casey’s dedication and commitment, the drama program at Trinity would not be the success it is today. Flowers will be sent to the family on behalf of all St. Genesius Players, past and present.
Please join us in praying for our wonderful director:
“Lord of all creation, most loving and just God, You are the source of everything good, true, and beautiful.
When we put forward our words, our music, our voices and our movement in service of art, all has its birth in You.
As the Holy Spirit descends to inspire the faithful artists, so death gathers them back into the welcoming arms of the Father.
With sorrow and hope, we bid farewell to points of light now gone out, celebrating the beauty they produced in life, sending prayers aloft to You for their souls and the grief of their loved ones.
We also mourn for ourselves, facing a future left a bit less bright. But always, Christ our King, we know You will set new lights ablaze, and help us bank the creative fires in our own hearts, to better praise You in Your glory, through your mercy and boundless love.
With all those the Holy Spirit inspires, we ask intercession from-
✝️The Blessed Virgin Mary, the embodiment of Christian holiness, Ora pro nobis!
🎼St. Cecilia, who watches over musicians, Ora pro nobis!
🩰St. Vitus, who watches over dancers, Ora pro nobis!
🎭St. Genesius, who watches over actors, Ora pro nobis!
Gracious Father, our creative souls are restless until they rest in You. Amen.”
(Prayer taken from “Prayer for Departed Artists” by Katie Hare)
