The Institute of Christ the King is asking for prayers for a French transitional deacon who tragically died this week during an accident.
(LifeSiteNews) -- A deacon in the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest needs your prayers.
The Latin Mass society of apostolic life announced a transitional deacon, Charles Outtier, died on Wednesday during a tractor accident.
The group wrote:
Charles Outtier was a deacon preparing for priestly ordination this coming July. His unexpected and tragic death has plunged the seminary into mourning. Deacon Outtier edified the whole community with his joyful demeanor and his fervent devotion to his duties, his studies, and his Catholic faith.He was full of promise for his future priestly ministry. But the good Lord, who alone knows the day and hour, has called him on ahead of us. He was anointed and received the Apostolic Blessing at the moment of his death.
The ICKSP asked for prayers for Outtier and others at the seminary and for the deacon's family during this difficult time.
"Prayers for Deacon Outtier," Bishop Joseph Strickland wrote in response to a post on X (formerly Twitter).
The ICKSP exclusively celebrates the traditional rite sacraments and has apostolates in the United States, Europe, and Africa.
