The passing of Bishop Richard Williamson
We learn with deep sorrow that Bishop Richard Williamson has been called to God on January 29, 2025, at 11.23pm.
Following a cerebral hemorrhage, he was rushed to hospital on the evening of January 24, after having received extreme unction. He was 84 years old, having been born on March 8, 1940.
Ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop Lefebvre on June 29, 1976, he taught at the seminary in Weissbad for a year, then at Écône for five years. After a year as vice rector in Ridgefield, he directed the seminary in the United States for twenty years, then in Argentina for six, before retiring to England.
Consecrated bishop on June 30, 1988, he also served as the Society’s second Assistant General between 1988 and 1994.
Sadly, his path and that of the Society separated many years ago.
We recommend the eternal rest of his soul to your fervent prayers.
R.I.P.
