Funeral arrangements have been scheduled for Rev. Andrew Greeley who passed away this week at age 85.
Greeley’s wake begins at noon through 7 p.m. Wednesday at Christ the King Parish, his first parish at 9235 S. Hamilton Ave., in Chicago followed by a 7 p.m. mass.
The prolific priest, sociologist and long-time NBC analyst who wrote best-selling novels and a weekly newspaper column was remembered as a genuine Chicagoan and a dedicated servant of the church with a prophetic voice.
“Our hearts are heavy with grief,” his family said in a statement, “but we find hope in the promise of Heaven that our uncle spent his life proclaiming to us, his friends, his parishioners and his many fans. He resides now with the Lord of the Dance, and that dance will go on.”
