Requiescat in pace We are sorry to announce that our beloved Br. Paschal passed away on March 5 around 5:45 A.M. surrounded by Abbot Gabriel and his fellow monks saying all the Prayers for the Dying. One of the original members of Saint Benedict Center and Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Br. Paschal was also a key member of the community which professed Benedictine monastic vows in 1981. Educated at Exeter, Harvard, Harvard & BC Law School, Br. Paschal was the Abbey’s “legal eagle.” He also served as the porter for many years and befriended all who came calling. Br. Paschal’s wake will be held in Saint James Room at the Abbey, 252 Still River Rd. on Sunday from 2-4, & 7-9. His funeral Mass be offered on Monday at 11 A.M. in the Abbey chapel. |
