It is with sadness we announce the death of Fr Edward Carroll on Sunday 4 January, peacefully at St Joseph's Hospice in Hackney.
Fr Teave, as he was known by many, was admitted to St Joseph's on Wednesday afternoon for end of life care. Before that he was living at Nazareth House in Finchley where he was cared for by the Sisters, staff and Chaplain, Fr Terry Tastard. At St Joseph's the staff and Chaplain, Fr Terry Seasman, met Fr Teave's needs.
Condolences are extended to all at Nazareth House and St Joseph’s, and to Fr Teave's family and friends, including members of the Neo Catechumenal Way - Fr Teave was a member of the First Community at Mile End.
He waa born in Newry, Co. Down on 13 September 1933 and ordained to the priesthood in Newry Cathedral on 17 August 1975. Information about funeral arrangements and an obituary will be circulated in due course.
We pray for the repose of Fr Teave's soul.
From Psalm 26:
There is one thing I ask of the Lord,
for this I long,
to live in the house of the Lord,
all the days of my life,
to savour the sweetness of the Lord,
to behold his temple.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
