Mass of Remembrance: Tylenol Murders

September 2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the Tylenol Murders which had a direct impact on our parish community.

Adam Janus, an OLW parishioner, was the second fatality (of seven) from consuming potassium cyanide-laced Tylenol. Adam’s brother Stanley and sister-in-law Theresa also died from ingesting the same tainted product.
