PARIS —JeanVanier, Canadian, Catholic, philosopher, theologian and humanitarian, whose charity work helped improve conditions for the developmentally disabled in Canada and multiple other countries has died at 90.

A charity he founded, L’Arche, announced Vanier died Tuesday in Paris.

A visit to a psychiatric hospital prompted him to found L’Arche in 1964 as an alternative living environment where those with developmental disabilities could be full-fledged participants in the community instead of patients. it is now in 83 countries around the world.

The song LORD JESUS, OF YOU I WILL SING was composed in French by “Les petites soeurs de Jésus” (“The Little Sisters of Jesus”). It is a song that Jean Vanier loved very much which he asked to be sung during the Faith and Sharing retreats. It is used a lot at L’Arche.

We sing it this Sunday it as a tribute.

Thankful for each of you Chris, Dom, Soc, Dan, Rob, Effie, Ed, Kristen, Catherine & Clare-Anne for all of your amazing talent but, moreso, for your love of worship.

You inspire us to higher ground.

Happy Easter and Aloha! See you soon.

Nice to be home. Had a lovely trip to Bali made even better with a visit to Sidhi Astu orphanage in Badung. This is the organization that Elijah Music Ministry has supported.  They are SO grateful. Some pics to share….

Carmine Pucci and his wife Erica are long time parishioners of St. Clare and always big fans of our music ministry. They told us so all the time. We even played for their granddaughters wedding last year (Ilva Bevacqua’s daughter).

So, we are also honoured to play at his funeral mass. Feb 7th at 11AM.

Eterno Riposo, Carmine
