In Memoriam
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
Nelson Mowry peacefully departed this life on the morning of Memorial Day, May 26. Please be praying for Nancy, and the Mowry family and friends as they mourn their loss.
From the 1928 Book of Common Prayer:
“[We] bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear; beseeching thee to grant them continual growth in thy love and service, and to give us grace so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom.” (p.74)
Requiem Mass will be on Wednesday, June 11 at 10:00AM; Our bishop, the Rt Rev. Eric Menees, will be the celebrant.
