Bishop Paul Sirba Requiescat In Pace
Diocesan Events
Our Bishop. Bishop Paul Sirba suffered cardiac arrest at St. Rose Church in Proctor, MN, December 1, 2019. He was rushed to Essential Health St. Mary's Medical Center in Duluth, where life-saving measures were attempted, but were unsuccessful. He was attended to by Father John Petrich who administered the last rites to him at the hospital. He was declared to have passed away at just after 9:00 A.M. Words do not adequately express our sorrow at this sudden loss of our Shepherd. We have great hope and faith in Bishop Sirba's resurrection to new life, and have confident assurance that he will hear the words of our Lord: "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter in the joy of your Master."
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord... ~And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace... ~Amen.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God... ~Rest in peace. Amen.
