We are sad to hear of the passing of our Brother Knight, Joe Worrall. Many of us have crossed paths with Joe in the parish as he participated in the ministries he was active in. He will surely be missed. Here is the obituary from H.D. Oliver Funeral.

He graduated from Central Falls High School in 1945. He attended Rhode Island State College (University of Rhode Island) from 1949 to 1951 where he was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity.
He entered the U.S. Navy in 1945 as a Seaman Recruit and retired in July 1972 as a Lieutenant Commander.
He was a member of St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church where he formerly served as Head Sacristan, Minister of Communion, Lector, member of the Parish Council, member of the Liturgy Committee, the Men's Club, St. Benedict Council and Fr. Michael J. McGivney Assembly of the Knights of Columbus.
