	Statement on the Occasion of the Death of Father Charles Sylvestre By Ron Pickersgill Roman Catholic Diocese of London [Canada] January 23, 2007 http://www.rcec.london.on.ca/Abuse/Statement-death-sylvestre.htm#%C0%20loccasion Father Charles Sylvestre died at midnight on Monday January 22. Funeral arrangements have not yet been finalized. We expect that it will be a private ceremony. We continue to feel grief and shock at the revelations of his actions, and we say again that we deplore all instances of sexual abuse and sexual impropriety, especially by clergy or anyone in the Church's employ, towards minors. On this occasion, Bishop Fabbro has directed all parishes to offer special prayers for all victims of abuse by Father Sylvestre, for their families, and for those who support them. And we ask for prayers for the family of Father Sylvestre and for the repose of his soul. rpickersgill@rcec.london.on.ca
