The Memorial Candle Program has been designed to help offset the costs associated with the hosting this Tribute Website in perpetuity. Through the lighting of a memorial candle, your thoughtful gesture will be recorded in the Book of Memories and the proceeds will go directly towards helping ensure that the family and friends of Msgr. Burns can continue to memorialize, re-visit, interact with each other and enhance this tribute for future generations.

Thank you.

A great man, a great priest, a great pastor and a great friend. You will be missed by many, especially me and my family. We have been good friends since you became my pastor in 1974. You accomplished so much , renovation of the basement church by parish volunteers, getting our parish out of debt, organizing ski trips to Belvedere, NY, establishing a drama club, running the best bazaars and so much more. ( even though your bazaars did bring rain), you were a fixture in your green sweater and Red cowboy hat. Your leadership made MQH one of the best parishes in the Diocese. I will miss our “gottchas” that we enjoyed over the years. I will continue to tell people that I am the PRESIDENT of your fan club....that’s because I am the ONLY MEMBER! Rest In Peace, my friend.
