Homily from the Funeral Mass of Archbishop Robert Fortune Sanchez

ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Friday, January 20, 2012 IMMEDIATE RELEASE-- The Archdiocese of Santa Fe is saddened to announce the death of Archbishop Robert Fortune Sanchez who served as the 10th Archbishop of Santa Fe from 1974-1993.  His family has deep roots in New Mexico with many ancestors among the first Hispanic settlers.  On March 20, 1934 when Robert was born to Julius C. and Priscilla Fortune Sanchez, neither he nor his parents knew what God would call Robert to do.  Robert was taught well by his parents to love God; and they made sure he received all his Sacraments.

It is with deep sadness that I inform you that Archbishop Robert Fortune Sanchez, 10th Archbishop of Santa Fe, passed into eternal glory shortly after 12:00 noon today, January 20, 2012, in Albuquerque, NM, surrounded by his family. I ask for prayers for the repose of his soul and for the comfort and consolation of his family members.  
Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan
