Oldest Parishioner Dies

Edward William Conway

Suddenly on February 6, 2007 at 20 years of age this young man died while a student at Trent University. He is the son of Dr. Donal and Mary Conway who reside in the village of Williamstown. His large family, numerous friends and acquaintences, and fellow students from Trent University filled St. Mary's Parish Church for the funeral Mass on Saturday, February 10, 2007. Fr. Bob MacDonald (main celebrant), Monsignor Rudy Villeneuve, and Fr. Victor Vachon concelebrated the Mass. Deacon Kerry McDonald served as Deacon. In his homily Monsignor Rudy Villeneuve compared the sudden sadness of Edward's death to the the ice storm a decade ago. "All was going along as ususal, and then everything was plunged into darkness."

Let us all remember to pray for Edward and his wonderful family and many friends who must contend with this sudden loss and great sadness.

Edward will be buried in the Parish Cemetery in the Spring.

Roger Arthur Pilon

Died at the Janet MacDonell Pavillon on March 28, 2007.

Roger's health began to decline about two years ago. In recent days he suffered a fall and developed pneumonia from which he never recovered. Roger was a World War II Veteran serving  with the 1st Hussars Tank Corps of Sand Road, Summerston Station and took part in the second invasion of Normandy. On his return from war he married Viola Mary Currier. Viola was ever at his side in his declining  days, as she had been throughout their 61 years of marriage. They raised five children (Garry, Glendon, Anne, Andre, and Ronald who died a few months ago from cancer), and were the proud and happy grandparents of 12 grandchildren, and 13 great-granchildren. A funeral service was held for Roger at St. Mary's Church on Saturday Morning, March 31st, 2007 and a luncheon followed in the small hall afterwards. Roger will be sadly missed by his wife and family, as well as, his parish family at St. Mary's where he quietly served for most of his life. A few years ago, as his health began to decline, Roger and Viola had to reluctantly give up coordinating a seniors card group at St. Mary's Centre, a moment that caused them great sadness. At his funeral Fr. Bob spoke of the moments of grace that shine through men and women of faith. Roger was a truly a man of great faith!
