Monsignor Philip J. Reilly (1934–2024), a retired priest of the Diocese of Brooklyn and the founder of Helpers of God’s Precious Infants, passed away on November 30, 2024, after a lifetime dedicated to the pro-life movement and priesthood. Many of you remember his visits to Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church over the years as part of the organization’s peaceful, prayerful method of pro-life advocacy in both the Diocese of Brooklyn and the Archdiocese of New York.
We are sharing this memorial to him, written by his niece Susan Moore and her husband Kevin, who will continue the work of the Helpers in New York.
