(LifeSiteNews) — A deacon in the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest needs your prayers.
The Latin Mass society of apostolic life announced a transitional deacon, Charles Outtier, died on Wednesday during a tractor accident.
The group wrote:
Charles Outtier was a deacon preparing for priestly ordination this coming July. His unexpected and tragic death has plunged the seminary into mourning. Deacon Outtier edified the whole community with his joyful demeanor and his fervent devotion to his duties, his studies, and his Catholic faith.
He was full of promise for his future priestly ministry. But the good Lord, who alone knows the day and hour, has called him on ahead of us. He was anointed and received the Apostolic Blessing at the moment of his death.
The ICKSP asked for prayers for Outtier and others at the seminary and for the deacon’s family during this difficult time.
With great sadness, we commend to your prayers the repose of the soul of Charles Outtier, a French seminarian of the Institute of Christ the King in Gricigliano, who was killed on January 15 in a tractor accident on the seminary grounds while he was performing his duties.
