Memorial Mass for Father Peter Paul Polo
Father Peter Paul Polo, the former Holy Rosary pastor who died in Italy last month, was remembered at a memorial Mass in the church on September 16, 2023.
Father Polo passed away on September 13 at the Scalibrian retirement home in Bassano del Grappa. He was the pastor at Holy Rosary from 2021 to 2022. During the memorial Mass, Father Walter Tonelloto, the current pastor, recalled knowing Father Polo since they were seminarians together, and he noted that their families had been friends since that time. He told parishioners that one of Father Polo’s last messages was that he felt “gratitude” for the life he led.
Father Polo was a supporter of AMHS during the time he was at Holy Rosary, and he attended our programs during that period. He served on the Provincial and General Councils of the Scalabrinian order in Rome and in parishes in New York and New England before coming to Washington, D.C.
