Kentucky Ave. Aurora, CO 80012 (303) 364-1056 D o m i n i c a n Fa t h e r Jo h n McGreevy, who lived to serve more than 50 "wonderful" years as a priest, died July 21 at the age of 79. Since 2009, Father McGreevy served as house lector, then subprior, at St. Dominic Priory in Denver, and chap- lain at Francis Heights, an a " ordable housing complex run by Franciscan Ministries. His funeral Mass was held July 25 at St. Dominic Parish, and he was buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. John Patrick McGreevy was born April 5, 1937, in New York City. He attended Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, for two years before entering the Dominicans in 1958, when he took Gerald as his religious name. He received a bachelor's degree from the Dominican House of Studies in River Forest, Ill., in 1960, and was ordained a priest April 18, 1964, at St. Rose of Lima Priory, in Dubuque. Father McGreevy spent 14 years teaching, and in administration, at Fenwick High School near Chicago, before serving in various roles at Providence College in Rhode Island, and pastoral roles in Illinois, Michigan, and Colorado. He received a master's from New York's Fordham Uni- versity in educational administration and counseling.ª He was known to have "nearly pho- tographic memory recall," according to the Winter 2014- 15 issue of DomCentral Quarterly. The article said he was often referred to as "the ideal historian for the province" by his brothers. "It's hard to believe 50 years have gone by," Father McGreevy told the Denver Catholic Register on his 50 th anniversary of priestly ordination in 2014. "They move very quickly. It's been a wonderful life." Dominican lived "wonderful life" BY KARNA SWANSON karna.swanson@archden.org @KarnaSwanson Father John McGreevy
