In Memoriam
It is with profound sadness and distress that the Board wishes to inform Partners and Members of the Canadian Fellowship of Christian Spiritual Directors of the sudden and tragic death of Dr. Catherine McMulkin on Saturday October 7th.
We have no details to impart to you of the circumstances of her death, nor of funeral arrangements aside from noting that we understand there will be a small graveside service for immediate family members and a few close friends taking place soon.
The Board invites you to join us in a memorial service in loving remembrance of Cathy on Wednesday, October 25, 8p.m. ET. We will meet online; a link will be provided later.
The Board remembers her as a deeply faithful women who loved to laugh, especially at herself, and who was dedicated to both the ministry of spiritual direction and living with the deepest integrity.
We commend her memory to you and ask for your prayers for herself and her family.
Cathy was one of two founders of the CFCSD and since its inception in 2016, her vision, wisdom and knowledge has been integral in all facets of the operation and growth of the CFCSD. She has left a large hole for us, as a Board, to fill as we grapple with moving forward without her leadership. The Board has already gathered online once to begin this period of transition and have made plans to do so again soon and are making plans to meet in person early next month.
We have made the decision to suspend the activities of the CFCSD for the foreseeable future until the pathway forward becomes clearer.
We will keep you informed of all developments as soon and as fully as possible.
We ask you to hold us all in your prayers.
In Christ,
