August 15, 2008
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Father Stan Lasko, who passed away last week at the age of 46.

Father Stan presided over my marriage to Grace
, and was a faithful, earnest priest who brought God’s word to his parish in Vermilion, Alberta with a reverent love for Christ. He was also a gentle person, a giant teddy bear of a man. His funeral will be held today, August 15th, in Edmonton, at St. Joseph’s Basilica, and his ashes will be sent back to Poland following that for interment there.
His obituary can be viewed here; condolences and memorial testaments can be left there, if the Reader wishes.
Update: for all those who have asked me, I do not know the circumstances surrounding Father Stan’s passing. I only know that he passed away in Vermilion last Wednesday, in the rectory of Holy Name Catholic Church. I hope I speak for many when I thank you for your care and concern, but please understand that I only know that he has passed away, and that Bishop Richard Smith will preside over his funeral this coming Friday.
