Requiescat in Pace

REVEREND BROTHER LAWRENCE BLAKE, FSC

1929 - 2021

 

Dear Josephians, Old Boys and Friends,

It is with deep sorrow that I announce to you the death of our dear Brother Lawrence Blake, FSC who passed away peacefully on 5 November 2021. Brother Lawrence served in our College from 1975 to 1979.  Funeral details will be announced later.

“I had my early education In Ireland. At the age of 19, I went to London for teacher training. I came to Hong Kong in 1958 and taught in La Salle College until 1963 when I went back to Ireland for further studies. Later I went to Malaysia, Singapore and Borneo to teach. In 1975 I returned to Hong Kong and taught in St. Joseph's College. In 1979, Brother Brendan, the Principal of Chong Gene Hang College, retired and I was appointed to take his place.”                                                                                                                          

                                                                                                (Brother Lawrence)

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.  May he rest in peace.  Amen. 

Live Jesus in our hearts!
