Requiem for Mgr Noël Treanor

We spoke last year of the untimely death of our great friend Mgr Noël Treanor, Papal Nuncio to the EU. On 15 September, the Chaplain-President represented Lambeth Palace and Bishop Robert at a requiem held for the anniversary of Archbishop Noël's death at Notre-Dame du Sablon de Bruxelles, concelebrated by Mgr Bernadito Auza (Papal Nuncio to the EU), Mgr Franco Coppola (Papal Nuncio to Belgium and Luxembourg), Mgr Lode Aerts (Bishop of Brugge) and Mgr Jean Kockerols (Assistant Bishop in Mechelen-Brussels) and a large group of Catholic clergy. It was a bitter-sweet occasion of confidence in God's eternal plans and many happy memories, together with sadness at the loss of so dear a friend. Requiescat in pace ut in gloria resurgat.
