Memorial Mass for Ailis Malone
Saturday, July 11, 1pm
Ailis Malone served some 20 years as the parish secretary and bookkeeper here at St. Thomas. In the era before large parish staffs, she and her cadre of volunteers were the cornerstone of parish life. She served as Aquinas Guild president, funeral luncheon coordinator, and Harvest Dinner leader, among many other roles, during Fr. Belisle’s time as pastor. She was the immediate predecessor of Jeanne Donnelly as parish secretary.
Ailis died last year in Ireland, where her funeral Mass was held. Her children have arranged her burial here in Camas next to her husband.
All are invited to a Memorial Mass to be celebrated for Ailis Malone at 1pm on Saturday, July 11th, here at St. Thomas Aquinas, officiated by family friend Fr. Neal (Pepe) Wilkerson, SJ, and Fr. Ron Belisle, former pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Pope Francis Center at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church (OLG) in San Diego, CA (https://www.OLGSD.org/pope-francis-center).
Ailis was also very active at OLG, a Jesuit parish on the front lines of social justice work and welcoming the stranger. This was her parish home after her time at St. Thomas Aquinas.
