Father Frank Morrisey will be remembered as one of the greatest Canon Law scholars in Canadian history. He passed away May 23 at the age of 84. Born in PEI and ordained in Ottawa he was a founder of the Canadian Canon Law Society. There isn’t a bishop in Canada who hadn’t sought Fr. Morrisey’s expertise. Catholic hospitals and universities, says the Catholic Register , drew up statutes and structured their boards based on Morrisey’s advice. He was an honorary member of every Canon Law Society in the English speaking world.

 
Eternal Father, please welcome your good servant Fr. Morrisey into your heavenly kingdom. In Jesus’ Name I humbly pray. Holy Mary, St. Joseph, St. Francis, and St. Ives please intercede. Thank you. Amen.
 
Eternal rest grant unto Fr. Morrissey, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
