I have received hews of the passing away of Father Raymond A. Brennan, C.Ss.R., a Redemptorist priest, who was of great benevolence to disabled people, and the elderly in Thailand . H e was the founder, and he continued to administer the Pattaya Orphanage, the Redemptorist Vocational Training School for the Disabled pattaya, The Kindergarten for the Deaf, The Redemptorist School for the Blind Students, the Home for the Old Aged Stateless people, and the Home for the Street Children, including other worthwhile projects to help those less fortunate people. The successes of each project are obvious and acceptable to Thai society.

As the Provincial Governor of Chonburi, I wish to express my deepest condolences for father Ray's passing. May his goodness be rewarded in life everlasting from the Lord Jesus Christ. I also wish to give moral support to all administrators, students, children, and those relating to, engaging and involved in the valued and worthwhile projects to society. May God receive Father Ray's spirit with Him in heaven forever and ever.
