It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Father George Oakes.
Predeceased by his mother, Elizabeth Oakes-Nicholson (nee Cornell), his father, George W. Oakes and his brother, Ross Oakes, he will be deeply missed by his cousin, Patricia Howe-Loebach of London, Ontario and her family Michael, three daughters and grandchildren, and many other cousins and their families.
Father George was ordained a priest at St. Patrick's Basilica on Nov. 4, 1978. He served as a deacon at St. Monica's (1977) and as a priest at Resurrection of our lord (1978-1986) St. Ignatius of Loyola (1986-1988) St. John Brebeuf (1988-1989) and St. Thomas More as pastor (1989-Nov. 30, 2018)
He experienced so much love and support from the parishioners that many close friendships were formed during these years.
