Many of you may remember that for several years, WISP hosted summer interns who were priests from Africa that were studying communications in Rome. One of those interns was Fr. Richard Koskei from Kenya. We have just learned that Fr. Richard, who had suffered with heart problems for several years, died last week on December 10th. He had been ordained in 1992 and worked as an intern for Holy Spirit Radio back in 2003. He then graduated from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome with a Masters Degree in Social Communications. His dream was to start a Catholic radio station in Kenya. Holy Spirit Radio mourns the death of this young and dynamic priest. As a radio family, let us pray, "Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may Your perpetual light shine upon him."
