Death Notice 11/24/2021
Kindly remember in your prayers our dear Fr Timothy Michell who passed away peacefully 4.30PM on Wed 24th Nov. A few hours before he passed, we his community, gathered around his bed for the prayers for the dying. He participated in the prayers in a spirit of joy and peace. Fr Timothy was 92 years of age. Before he entered the monastery he was a photo surveillance pilot in the Korean War. At one point his commanding officer told him he was not getting close enough to the enemy for decent quality photographs. On the next excursion he came back with the plane full of bullet holes. With wry humor he said to the commanding officer, "Did I get close enough for you this time?" He worked as guestmaster in the retreat house for many decades. He was a gifted singer, musician and with his knowledge of electronics he skillfully kept all the machinery of the abbey businesses running like clockwork. He was a generous servant and brother to all the community.
