News arrived earlier this week of the sudden death of His Excellency, Paul Marchand, SMM, who until Sunday afternoon was serving as Bishop of Timmins.
It appears that the bishop was feeling 'ill' for a short period but there was no warning of this sudden call home. The Diocese of Timmins and the CCCB have both posted tributes to this beloved Bishop, whose funeral liturgies begin this afternoon with a period of public visitation which takes place in the Cathedral of Saint Anthony of Padua in Timmins (today and tomorrow). At noon tomorrow, the Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated in that same Cathedral and then the Bishop's body will be transferred to Ottawa for burial.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
