R.I.P. Fr. Donell Lowe
I got word Saturday evening that Fr. Don Lowe passed away earlier that day of a heart attack. His parishioners showed up for the Saturday evening mass and the doors were locked. When someone came with a key and they opened up the rectory, they found him dead. What an awful shock that must have been. I’ll post more details as I get them.
UPDATE: I just got word that Fr. Lowe’s funeral will be on Friday, November 20 @ 2:00 p.m., at Holy Family church in Deux-Montagnes. Visitation will be the previous evening (Thursday, November 19) from 7 to 9, and the next morning (the Friday) from 9 to noon (i.e. it finishes 2 hours before the funeral itself).

I was one of those parishioners and, yes, it was a terrible shock. It was fortunate that some of those gathered figured that something was wrong and called in someone with the key. Losing a pastor like Fr. Lowe is very hard to take. May his soul rest in peace.

hello all,
it is still a shock for us, i will always remember Don as my preist, presidor, and faithful uncle and peacekeeper. My uncle was truly a great man. Don is looking down on us, in heaven with God, praying for us and saying to us through prayer, everything is going to be alright. May he rest in peace.
ur beloved neice,
L. Lowe
