Honoring Father John L. Greene

Update: the banquet for Father Greene has been postponed indefinitely. Please send any inquiries by email: [email protected].

For over 30 years, Father Greene has ministered to the men and women of the San Francisco Fire Department. Known around the stations as "The Padre," he has been a constant source of solace, fellowship, and friendship. To many firefighters, he has become family.

Father Greene has been with our firefighters every step of the way. He has presided over marriages, baptized children, and buried loved ones. He has rushed into burning buildings to comfort and pray for the injured. When St. Peter's Church in the Mission caught fire, he selflessly saved the Blessed Sacrament, vestments, and chalices from the 130-year-old parish.

And all as a volunteer.

If you would like to honor Father Greene and his ministry of service to our community, there will be a Retirement Banquet held on June 20th at the Moscone Center, located at 747 Howard Street.
