Early in December 2024, I was informed that Anthony (Tony) Santoli passed away at the age of 57. Tony was an integral part of St. John the Evangelist Parish for many years. Prior to COVID, Tony was our organist and cantor at our 5:00pm evening Mass. Tony also contributed his time and talent to our parish in countless ways. When our church needed a new sound system, Tony worked with our staff to purchase and install the complete system. Tony was a full time Music Director at Holy Rosary Church in Ansonia where he contributed his many talents providing music and overseeing communications. The clergy, staff and parishioners at Holy Rosary Church will miss his presence and his gift of music in countless ways.

 

Please join me in offering prayers for the repose of the soul of Anthony (Tony) Santoli and for the consolation of his family and friends.

 

-Father Anthony J. Smith
