It is with immense sadness and love that we honour the life of Father Daniel Palillo, a devoted Reverend to the many parishes he served. Father Dan passed away on December 25, 2024, at the age of 92. His life was a beacon of faith, love, and service, touching countless lives in the Philippines and Canada throughout his 69 years of ministry.

He was a cherished uncle to his nieces in Canada—Floralyn, Mildred, Maribel, Marivic, and Lynn Marie—and nephews Eric and Allen.
