A Farewell to Fr. Tony
Anthony J. Tomasulo, OSA
May 5, 1934—June 11, 2009
May 5, 1934—June 11, 2009
As you all know by now, our beloved Fr. Tony passed peacefully in his sleep on June 11 from this life to be with our Lord Jesus Christ. His funeral Mass was last Wednesday at Villanova University in Philadelphia. Here at St. John Neumann Parish, we will celebrate a memorial Mass at 7 p.m. Wednesday for Fr. Tony.
Anthony Joseph Tomasulo, OSA, was born in Elizabeth, N.J., the son of Joseph and Grace (Calabro)
Tomasulo. He has one sister, Marie. He was baptized at the Church of Assumption, in Roselle Park, N.J., on July 1, 1934. He attended Alden School, Roselle Park Junior High and Roselle Park High, and then Del-barton School (Morristown, N.J.) for his primary and secondary education (1940-1953).
He attended Villanova University and during his years there, he applied for entrance into the Order. He was received as a novice on Sept, 5, 1955, and after a year at Good Counsel Novitiate (New Hamburg, N.Y.), he professed first vows on Sept. 10, 1956. He then went to Augustinian College in Wash-
ington for his theological studies, professed solemn vows Sept. 10, 1959, and was ordained into the priesthood on June 3, 1961, at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington.
Fr. Tony was assigned first to St. Joseph Friary and Monsignor Bonner High School in Drexel Hill, Pa. (1962-1975). While there, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The operation was successful, but this near-death experience gave Tony an understanding that every day he lived beyond the operation was a gift from God to be enjoyed, celebrated and shared with others. He spent a year at the Augustinian Collegiate Seminary at Villanova from 1975-76 and then spent the rest of his ministerial life
serving where he said he found his greatest joy — in parish ministry.
Those parishes were:
St. Rita of Cascia, Philadelphia (1976-82);
Immaculate Conception, Hoosick Falls, N.Y. (1982-90);
Assumption/St. Paul Parish, Mechanicsville, N.Y. (1990-91);
St. John the Baptist, Schaghticoke, N.Y. (1991-97);
Our Mother of Consolation, Chestnut Hill, Pa. (1997-99);
Resurrection of Our Lord, Dania Beach, Fla. (1999-2007);
and then at St. John Neumann since 2007.
His appreciation of life pervaded his ministry and gave Tony a joy-filled sense of humor and an affirming attitude toward every person or situation he met, for the rest of his life. He often said that his greatest love in life were his family, his life and experience of brotherhood as an Augustinian, his opportunity to be an instrument of God’s peace as a priest, and his friendship with Jesus Christ. His ability to laugh at life and at himself drew others close to him and helped him minister to them as friend, brother and priest.
