Vincent Joseph Kelly's Obituary
On Sunday, September 4, 2022 Vincent Joseph Kelly “Vince”. Beloved son of the late Stanley and Catherine May Kelly. Cherished godfather of John William Ambrose, Jr. Treasured nephew of Gerard Joseph Paul Kelly.
Vince served as the devoted music director and ministry assistant at St. Michael the Archangel New Catholic Church. Vince had been involved with music in the church for over 50 years. During his childhood, he sang in the choir at his family's parish of Holy Redeemer Chapel. When he learned how to start playing the organ, he would play some of the hymns for the services. At the age of 12, he was asked to be the full time organist and music director at the sister parish of St. Gerard's Chapel. He continued there for 32 years until the chapel closed in 2002, being the longest organist that parish had in its 47 year history. Since then, he occasionally played at other churches before getting involved with St. Michael the Archangel Parish in 2012. Along with being the church's organist and music director, he also helped to maintain the church office as Ministry Assistant.
