Brothers Mark and Otomo
Eternal rest grant unto Mark Clement, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
The Visitor of the District of Canada Francophone, Brother Florent Gaudreault writes: “As for our dear Bro. Clément (Marc), he came back to Québec because he was already suffering from Alzheimer’s. Over the years, his illness worsened. I think he never really realized where he was, nor why he was there. But he was at peace, playing his harmonica at times. He passed away very peacefully.”
“O God, by whose favor your servant, Brother Mark Clement, was called to the religious life and who witnessed to the message of salvation by his dedication to Christian education, grant that he may be admitted to your eternal friendship with those who have likewise zealously labored in Your Vineyard. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.”
