    Thank you for posting these details, unfortunately the network feed did not identify all the celebrants and I was lost

    It felt special being able to view live at the Basilica and see the Kennedy funeral plus all the events of the long day to Arlington. Rest in peace.

  5. RitaNo Gravatar says:

    Would happen to know where I could buy a Ted Kennedy holy card (aka memorial card, funeral card)?

      I have looked for a Ted Kennedy Holy Card. I have not found it. Since he handled his funeral details. Perhaps he did not want one.
