Friday was a very sad day for the Marist Community on hearing the news of Br Laurence’s passing. Many of you might know Br Laurence as the gentle man who quietly and humbly continued his work as a Marist Brother here at St Joseph’s Marist College. As a previous Head of the College and teacher, he spent many years serving at St Joseph’s. He was a great supporter of the SNU and played an instrumental role in the opening of the Unit in the year 2000. He served on the SNU parent committee for many years and represented the interests and concerns of our parents at the Governing Body level. His love was authentic for all the learners and we will always be grateful for his big heart.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
And let the perpetual light shine upon him. And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen
In honour of Br Laurence we would like to place cut flowers in front of his house on the SJMC property. The students have made cards at school which will be attached to the flowers before they are delivered. We will be collecting all flower donations tomorrow and Wednesday.
Forever in our thoughts and hearts.
