Funeral Mass of Bishop Emeritus Daniel A. Hart

Bishop Emeritus Daniel A. Hart, 80, who led the Roman Catholic Diocese of Norwich from 1995 to 2003, died Monday, January 14, 2008, at the St. Joseph Living Center in Windham after a six-month-long illness.  Bishop Hart was a man of deep faith in God with a strong commitment to the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, said his successor, the Most Rev. Michael R. Cote, bishop of Norwich.  “He was a strong and courageous spiritual leader for the Catholic faithful.”  In the early years of his priesthood, Hart chose as a motto for his personal coat of arms: “Do Not Be Afraid,” the message that the Bible says the angels used to greet frightened shepherds when telling them the Good News of the birth of Jesus Christ.

The Funeral Mass for the Most Reverend Daniel A. Hart, the beloved Bishop Emeritus of Norwich, was celebrated on Friday, January 18, 2008, at 11:00 a.m. in the Cathedral of Saint Patrick.  The Funeral Mass was celebrated by Most Reverend Henry J. Mansell, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Hartford, and Bishop Cote was the homilist.
