Statement from the Apostolic Administer
The Catholic Church in Barbados joins in the national mourning over the death of Prime Minister David Thompson. The passing of such a young and promising leader has touched the entire nation. I am sure that his suffering prior to his death will serve as a source of strength and blessing for the leadership of this country. The Catholic Church in Barbados celebrated Mass and offered many prayers for the repose of the soul of the deceased Prime Minister. The Church extends its sympathy to the Government and People of Barbados in recognition of the deceased Prime Minister’s love for country and dedication to public service. In recognition of his strong family values, the Church also extends condolences to his beloved wife, daughters and extended family who mourn the loss of their loved one. As Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Bridgetown I will be present at the funeral on Wednesday, November 3, 2010. May he rest in peace.
