Please pray for the repose of the soul of Andrew Baird (’04) and for the consolation of the his family. Andrew passed away yesterday after a courageous battle with cancer. “I am told that he was very grateful for our prayers over the last two years, especially yesterday,” reports Alumni Relations Coordinator Aaron Dunkel (’06). “His passing was peaceful.”

Saints of God, come to his aid!
Come to meet him, angels of the Lord!
Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High.

May Christ, Who called him, take him to Himself;
may angels lead him to Abraham's side.
Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High.

Give him eternal rest, O Lord,
and may Your light shine upon him forever.
Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High.

We commend our brother, Andrew, to you, Lord.
Now that he has passed from this life,
may he live on in Your presence.

In Your mercy and love, forgive whatever sins he
may have committed through human weakness.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
