Senator
Joe Donnelly released the following statement today in reaction to the passing
of Bishop John D'Arcy:
"It was
with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Bishop John D'Arcy.
As members of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, my family and I have long
looked to Bishop D'Arcy for spiritual guidance and leadership. Bishop
D'Arcy was a strong voice for not only the Catholic faith, but a voice for the
hungry, the poor, and the disadvantaged. He made all of us better
persons.
"Bishop
D'Arcy was also my friend, and I greatly valued his kindness, friendship, and
advice. Like all of us in northern
Indiana and throughout our state and country, we will miss Bishop John
terribly. I know he is home in God's peace."
