Dear Brothers in Christ,

FR. RAYMOND PARENT went peacefully to the Lord on Feb. 3, 2010 at the National Taiwan University Hospital in Taipei at 8:23 p.m.

Fr. Parent was born in Montreal, Canada, on Jan. 30, 1932. He entered the Society at St. Joseph, Sault-au-Recollet, Montreal, on Aug. 14, 1951, was ordained to the priesthood on March 18, 1962 at the Cathedral, Taipei, and professed his last vows on May 7, 1977 in Taipei.

All priests of the Chinese Province will celebrate one Mass first intention for Fr. Parent’s eternal rest. Those who are not priests will offer one Mass and Communion and recite one “corona”. The members of St. Peter Canisius Residence will offer two Masses, etc.

Yours in Our Lord,
Luciano Morra, S.J.
