Our Lady of Malibu Pastor Emeritus Monsignor John V. Sheridan died early this morning from heart failure. He was 94.
Sheridan had been in critical condition since Aug. 25, when he was involved in a car crash that killed Sister Mary Campbell and injured Pepperdine University law professor and U.S. Ambassador to Malta Douglas Kmiec.
“We all are very saddened,” OLM Parish Manager Peggy Thomas said.
There will be a prayer service at OLM at 7:30 p.m. The funeral will take place at OLM on Sept. 24 at 11 a.m.
Sheridan was one of the person’s profiled in a recent Times story by Melonie Magruder called “Past retirement, still kicking.” He talked about his active lifestyle and said he still has the same enthusiasm for life and church that he had always had. The article can be viewed here:
