Fr. Jack Russi 
Dear Alumni,
I am very saddened to report to you that Fr. Jack Russi passed away this morning at the Marianist residence in Cupertino. As we all know, Fr. Jack was a much beloved member of the Archbishop Mitty community over many years. In fact, he spent much of his adult life at Mitty in various roles, including two different stints as principal. Three years ago, Fr. Russi returned to Mitty in the role of chaplain, a role he thoroughly embraced. His faith, his humor, his love of life and people have blessed our community, and he will be sorely missed by all of us.
Please keep Fr. Russi, his family, his Marianist family, and the AMHS family in your thoughts and prayers.
Christ's Peace,
Tim Brosnan
