The Sudden Death of Dom Alistair Findlay RIP
Belmont Webmaster • January 15, 2020
Very sad news. Fr Alistair collapsed outside his room this morning after Morning Office. Br Dunstan and our postulant John tried to resuscitate him and the paramedics arrived very quickly. Sadly he died in hospital soon afterwards. It is a great shock to everyone. Following his studies at Sant Anselmo he was settling into work on the Belmont Parish and was the Retreat Secretary and Procurator in the Monastery.
The Funeral details are below.
May he rest in peace.
On the Commemoration of All Souls, Abbot Brendan reflects on the experience of death within a monastic community, the meaning of Purgatory, and St Benedict’s invitation never to lose hope in the mercy of God.
