His Funeral is going to be at St. Josephs in Richmond, on April 18th, the Rosary being said at 9:30 am followed by the Requiem Mass. In attendance will be dom. Noah, dom. Jason, dom Edgardo, Oblate Jason. It is no small thing that dom. Charles is the first Knight in the North American preceptory to persevere in his Vows till the end of his life. As the rule says: " These are the instruments of spiritual art! If we shall make use of them day and night and return them on the day of judgement, we shall obtain from the Lord the reward that He himself promised: “No eye has ever seen, nor ear has ever heard what God has prepared for those who love him" Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam ad preces nostras, quibus misericordiam tuam supplices deprecamur, ut animam famuli tui Caroli, quam de hoc saeculo migrare iussisti, in pacis ac lucis regione constituas et Sanctorum tuorum iubeas esse consortem. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
