It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our former pastor, Father Laurence Dunn.

Father Dunn was born in Waukegan and attended the School of St. Mary, Lake Forest, Quigley Preparatory Seminary, Niles College of Loyola University and the University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary. He was associate pastor (1968-1972) and pastor of St. Philip the Apostle (1985-2003); associate pastor at Holy Cross, Deerfield (2003-2004); and pastor of St. Patrick, Lake Forest (2004-2017). He also served on the faculty at Niles College (1972-1985) and as a counselor for the Catholic Family Consultation Service (1975-1985), and as an adjunct faculty member at the University of St. Mary of the Lake (2004-2015). He had been a resident priest at the Catholic Community of Northbrook since 2017.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Funeral arrangements are pending
