Please pray.
Dr. Philip Mango, a friend from 1985, the first year I opened homes for homeless mothers and babies in Hoboken, and at times a counselor for Good Counsel moms and staff, along with his wife of nearly 50 years, Arlene, both passed on into Eternal Life last month just 3 days of each other.
He was the first psychologist I heard talk about post abortion healing. He also spoke about how abortion hurts men as well as grandparents and really all family members.
Phil and Arlene are the parents of Peter Mango who is now a Good Counsel major donor advisor. He asks only for prayers that they will join the Lord forever.
A Funeral Mass will be held this Saturday, September 12th at 10:45 AM in St. Henry's Church in Bayonne, NJ.
Dr. Mango had a Fifth Avenue office offering clinical psychological counseling. He was an early innovator bringing together mental, physical and psychological healing arts.
He began the St. Michael Institute which included psychological counseling, spiritual direction and psychiatric care. He offered free services to the Missionaries of Charity as well as many other religious groups and numerous poor individuals. He gave lectures around the country.
He certainly will be remembered by those who were mentored by him for his integrating faith and psychology.
May the Lord give Phil and Arlene a blessed Eternity.
