Good morning dear Fathers, Deacons, dear friends,
As the sunrises, I write to convey the sad news of the death of Sr Julie Ogbole SON who died peacefully in the early hours of this morning at Monash Hospital.
Sisters Faustina, Victoria, Grace, were keeping prayerful vigil with their beloved sister.
Sr Julie returned to hospital on Sunday and her health deteriorated very quickly. Her suffering is over and she is at peace.
Please pray for Sr Julie that she may now enjoy the eternal love of God in whom she had placed her trust.
The Sisters of the Nativity have given us powerful witness, together with the parish team and community of St Thomas the Apostle, Clyde North, where Sr Julie was Parish Pastoral Associate, and St Agatha’s, Cranbourne.
We also remember Sr Julie’s mother and family in Nigeria for whom Sr Julie’s death is a terrible shock.
We recall also the Sisters of Nativity in Nigeria and other communities who have lost such a devoted sister in Christ.
The Diocese of Sale and the Church has lost a profound Pilgrim of Hope.
May dear Sr Julie, rest in peace and rise in glory!
+Greg Bennet
