Mother Vasilia's repose

Mother Vasilia of the Convent of the Annunciation in London reposed today, 6th / 19th February, at about one o'clock in the afternoon.  She reposed just as we finished reading the canon and prayers for the departure of the soul for her.  Please remember her in your holy prayers.  Bishop Ambrose is hoping that he will be able to come for the funeral.

May Mother Vasilia's rest be with the saints and her memory eternal.
