OBSEQUIES FOR GILES CANON GOWARD

The Requiem Mass for our late confrere, Chaplain of Magistral Obedience, the Very Reverend Giles Canon Goward, twenty-fifth Rector of St Mary's College Oscott, will be held tomorrow, Monday 8th February, at Noon.

The Order will be formally represented in Choir by our confrere Andrew Grant. Numbers, due to Covid, will be limited.

Canon Goward died a holy death, fortified by the Sacraments and surrounded in his last hours by groups of his seminarians reciting the Holy Rosary around his bed in the College. Vespers of the Dead were sung in the Chapel that evening, in the presence of His Grace the Archbishop. Please pray for the repose of the Canon's soul, for his Seminarians and the community of the College, and for his family.

Requiescat in pace.
