In Memoriam of the hierodeacon Petroc

It is with great sadness that the monastic house of St Anne, in the city of York, announces the falling asleep in the Lord of our beloved hierodeacon Petroc. A humble and charming man, whom Fr Stephen has known for many years, he served for over a decade in St Anne’s and was loved by all who knew him. He also had the privilege of traveling to Moscow at the reunification of our Archdiocese in 2019 and was a regular pilgrim to Mount Athos. Latterly he worked in social care work in Scarborough Council, he loved his dogs and the open countryside around his home in North Yorkshire. We pray for him, and for his family.

May his memory be eternal.
