Dear Brothers,
It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of Fr. Gerry Reynolds, C.SS.R this morning, the eve of Charles de Foucauld’s anniversary. Gerry was a member of the very first fraternity in Ireland, and has shared his account of the beginning of the Fraternity here 41 years ago.
Fr. Gerry’s Body will be received at Clonard Monastery tonight, Monday 30th November at 7.00pm.
He will be waked in Monastery Parlour, Tuesday 9am – 10pm
Removal to Church for an ecumenical service on Wednesday 2nd December at 7.30pm
Funeral Mass Thursday 3rd December at 12.00pm followed by burial in the Redemptorist plot, Milltown cemetery.
Ar dheis lámh Dé go raibh a anam dílis
We will especially remember Fr. Gerry at the Fraternity post-Christmas gathering at Mount St. Joseph’s Roscrea which will commence at supper-time on Sunday 27th December and will continue until lunch on Wednesday 30th December. As ever please text me on 086-234.2170 or e-mail me at liamocuiv@yahoo.com Using these options rather than voice mail leaves me with a written record of your booking.
Wishing you peace and blessings this advent.
Liam Ó Cuív
