RIP: Bp. Robert S. Loiselle

Dear St. Paul's,

It is with great sadness that I regret to inform you that Bp. Bob Loiselle passed away yesterday. I heard this morning from his children. Please keep them in your prayers during this time. We are planning to have a joint memorial service for him and Emily sometime in early December. We will keep you posted on the details. 

As we mourn the passing of this servant of God, we should also be thankful for his life and ministry and all that he gave to our parish. Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him. 

Into thy hands, O merciful Saviour, we commend the soul of thy servant, now departed from the body. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech thee, a sheep of thine own fold, a lamb of thine own flock, a sinner of thine own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of thy mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen. (BCP 319-320)

Blessings,
Fr. Wesley Walker
