England, London<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> April\u00a020,\u00a02015<\/p>\n<\/div> Dear Confreres:<\/p>\n On April\u00a020,\u00a02015, at approx.\u00a09:20 in the morning, our confrere, Fr.\u00a0Piotr Smolinski, a Marian, aged\u00a051, died suddenly, probably of a heart attack. At 7:30\u00a0a.m. he celebrated Mass at the Sisters of the Resurrection, ate breakfast, and went home. His coming back was slow, and when he stopped at the parish office upon his return, he grew faint, lost consciousness, fell, and died, despite the first aid and rapid medical intervention of ambulance attendants. I witnessed the fight for his life and his death; I anointed him with holy oils and prayed all the time to the Lord for saving him, but the Lord called him to Himself. Yesterday evening we celebrated Holy Mass in Fr.\u00a0Piotr\u2019s intentions preceded by the Rosary. Every day until his funeral we will pray for the eternal salvation for him. I\u00a0am sending a picture of Fr.\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Pior Smolinski,\u00a0MIC, which was taken Sunday, April\u00a019,\u00a02015, during Mass at 1:00\u00a0p.m., when he baptized several children. Father Piotr did not like being photographed, but he agreed on this occasion, because he was baptizing the son of our former sacristan Mr.\u00a0Wojtek Kopa\u0144ski, who is the author of this photo. We are waiting for the coroner\u2019s decision in regard to a possible autopsy of our brother\u2019s remains, then we will inform about the funeral arrangements for the late Fr.\u00a0Piotr, first in Ealing, London, and then in Poland.<\/p>\n Father Dr.\u00a0Piotr Smoli\u0144ski,\u00a0MIC, worked in the parish of the Blessed Virgin Mary \u201cMother of the Church\u201d in London, Ealing, for nearly six years. He was in charge of the group of Ministers of the Eucharist, which formed and educated with great love and respect for the presence of Eucharistic Christ. He prepared parents for the sacrament of baptism through specially organized for them theological and existential catechesis, as well as liturgical catechesis; he baptized the children almost every Sunday Mass, celebrated at 1:00\u00a0p.m. During his ministry in Ealing, he gave the sacrament of baptism to more than 1,000\u00a0children. He prepared the adults for the Sacrament of Confirmation, by organizing two-three times a year a series of at least 10\u00a0catechetic sessions. He claimed that he met in these sessions with true seekers and followers of Christ, whom he liked to initiate in the life of the Church. He led two conjugal groups called \u201cTeams of Our Lady,\u201d was the presbyter of a neo-catechumenal community with which he celebrated his last Passover on Holy Saturday. On June\u00a03rd of this year he would have celebrated his 25th\u00a0anniversary of the sacrament of Holy Orders. In this year Holy Week, he celebrated at the church in Ealing the Liturgy on Good Friday, speaking with love about the cross of Jesus Christ and conducting beautifully the ceremony. He had a passion for imparting philosophical and biblical knowledge, and during the past three years he conducted biblical catechesis and meditations on the Lectio Divina every Sunday at 4:00\u00a0p.m. We all greatly miss Fr.\u00a0Piotr and give our heartfelt condolences to his parents Ewa and Eugeniusz, to his siblings, and members of the Marian community.<\/p>\nEngland, London: Fr.
