As many of you know by now, our Br Ignatius Maria passed into the better life on 12 April 2026. He was 24 years old. Brother is presumed to have drowned at sea, but the circumstances of his disappearance and death remain shrouded in mystery.
Brother Ignatius entered the Monastery in 2023 and advanced quickly in way of perfection. In just a few short years he became well known for his spirit of prayer, his true humility and his devoted charity towards others. He is remembered very fondly by all who knew him, and will be sorely missed.
His body was recovered, and he was buried on 13 May, 2026.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.
On 12 May, a month to the day since Brother's disappearance, his body was collected from the undertaker on the Scottish mainland, and brought to Papa Stronsay on two ferry rides by his two brother, Brs Francisco and Aiden.
The following day, 13 May, 2026, Brother Ignatius Maria was laid to rest in the cemetery on Papa Stronsay.
