Father Kevin Munn, CSP, was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on December 27, 1947. He studied at Providence College, and graduated in 1969. He entered the Paulist community the following autumn and made his first profession on September 6, 1970. Along with classmates Fathers Patrick Johnson, Michael Evernden, William Hunter, Robert J. O'Donnell, James McCauley, John P. Collins, Joseph F.X. Smith and James Brucz, he was ordained a Catholic priest on May 4, 1974.
After a brief assignment at Old Saint Mary's parish in San Francisco he became a campus minister at the University of California at San Diego. In addition to counseling students and offering retreats, he also acted as chaplain at nearby Scripps Memorial Hospital.
In 1981 he moved to the University of Connecticut campus ministry at Storrs and oversaw the renovation of St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel. Deeply devoted to art and culture, he designed attractive worship spaces and window displays, spending much of his free time writing for The Catholic World and working on a novel.
Upon leaving UConn he devoted the next several years of his life studying and teaching in the Boston area. In 1987 he returned to parish work at St. Thomas Aquinas in Boulder, Colorado. He later moved to Chicago to study at the University of Chicago. But he was soon diagnosed with lymphoma and died in the early fall of 1993. He was 45 years old at the time of his death and had been a Paulist priest for 19 years.
