From Pastoral Vicar Father Anthony (Bondi)
Dear Fathers,
It is with profound sadness that I convey to you the death of Father Deacon
[Polycarp] Robert (Sherwood) who passed away suddenly, about 1 p.m. this afternoon.
Father Deacon is survived by his wife Lillias. At the present time we do
not know more than this. As information becomes available I will pass it on.
Fraternally,
Father Anthony
Pastoral Vicar

On Thursday at 10:00am, at Christminster, in the monastic church of Our Lady of Glastonbury, a Sung Mass of Requiem will be celebrated by Abbot James and the monastic community for the repose of his soul. We invite all his friends and colleagues to join us as we remember and pray for our departed brother and friend.
