Repose of Fr. Michael Graves

[OrthodoxyOrDeath]

For anyone who has not heard, Fr. Michael Graves, a priest in Haiti who was recently received in the ROAC has reposed. He posted on this forum and I have had private exchanges of email with him.

All I know is that he was 75 and was found in the bathroom - cause as of yet unknown.

Please keep Fr. Michael in our prayers.

Prayers, indeed, for Fr Michael..and for his mission work in Haiti, now surely in dire straits.

Excellent! I was not aware your efforts coincided.

Actually the 2 missions do not work together. The Orthodox Mission in Haiti of Father Michael's has its website, I believe, at http://www.OrthodoxHaiti.tk where he does have another priest and deacon working at the mission, thank God.

Here is the info I received today when I got online:

Last night, at about 1:00 am, Fr. Michael Graves in Haiti passed away. He had no prior medical problems. The death is suspicious. An autopsy will be performed. His sister is going to Haiti tomorrow with the goal of bringing his body back to New Jersey where their parents are buried.

If anyone else hears anything further, please keep us updated. I will probably not be back online again until Sunday night at the earliest.
