Mr. Schifano was one of the nicest people ever. As a child & young person, attending Blessed Sacrament Church Masses, Mr. Schifano was there with a big smile for us kids. He and his wife, Ellie, were always kind and helpful and generous with their faith in God. Mr. Schifano was the Eucharistic Minister, who came to the then Somerset Medical Center to pray and serve Catholic patients. When my Mom, Claire Balent, became gravely ill, it was Mr. Schifano who would come to pray with her and administer the Eucharist. He gave her peace. She always looked forward to seeing him.... he was a fond reminder of Blessed Sacrament Church, and he understood Mom’s devotion to her faith. My family will forever be grateful to him for the respect and care he showed to our Mom. Rest In Peace, Mr. Schifano. Mrs. Schifano is waiting to greet you.
