DEATH OF BISHOP MICHAEL DALLAT
Statements from Bishop Miller of Down and Dromore
and
Archdeacon Harper (in the absence of Bishop Moore) of Connor
| Monday
25th September 2000
From Bishop Miller "I was deeply saddened today to hear of the death of Bishop Michael Dallat after a period of illness. "Bishop Michael always seemed to me to be a man of godliness, humility and wisdom, and conversations with him were usually tinged with a dry sense of humour. "He was in many ways a quiet man, but beneath the quiet exterior lay great depth. My thoughts and prayers are with members of the Roman Catholic Church in the diocese of Down and Connor at this time of loss. "May God grant his peace and strength to all who were close to Bishop Michael." From Archdeacon Harper "It is with deep regret that we have heard today of the death of Bishop Michael Dallat. "The Bishop had many friends throughout the Diocese of Connor and his gentle, compassionate and spiritually sensitive touch will be greatly missed. "We offer our sympathy to his colleagues in the Diocese of Down and Connor and especially to his family in and around Ballycastle." |
