R.I.P. Fr. R. Murray Tardiff - Diocese of Pembroke

I ask your prayers for the repose of soul of Fr. Murray Tardiff of our Pembroke Diocese. Murray has been a good friend for almost 30 years and his death has come as a surprise. He replaced me in Mattawa during my vacation over the past two weeks - and upon returning home, he went to the doctor as he was feeling under the weather. Evidently he was suffering for an advance cancer that had metastasized throughout his body and died three days after being admitted to the hospital last week.

Please keep his sister and brother in your prayers during this time of bereavement.

Fr. Tim
