Our beloved "Little Brother" departed this vale of tears at 8:00 pm Monday, April 24 in Ireland. As he himself would say, "Deo gratias!"
We ask of your prayers for our beloved Brother Gerard Francis (Nichols) who passed away peacefully the night of the 24th of April. He spent the last years of his life providing vital support to the apostolate in Ireland.
He was dear to everyone who knew him, and he will always be remembered by his contagious smile and peaceful demeanour.
"Oh God! command him to be taken up by the holy Angels, and to be borne to our home in paradise!"
Please pray for the repose of his soul as well as for his twin brother; Fr. David Nichols, SSPX, Mr. Wayne Nichols, longtime teacher at St. Mary's Academy in Kansas, and their family.
