Much to the sorrow of the faithful in Toronto and the international Oratory community, the Toronto Oratory has announced the passing of Rev. Fr. Jonathan Robinson, Provost of the Toronto Oratory and their founder, into eternity.
He had taken a nasty fall on St. Philip's Day (26 May) and was placed in Toronto's St. Joseph's Hospital. He passed on in his room at between 9:30 and 10am this morning, as related by Fr. Marco at the Usus Antiquor Mass held at the Oratory today.
I was not fortunate enough to know him, though those who did spoke well of him and his kindness.
May God rest his soul, and welcome him into His Kingdom, wiping away his tears and turning his sorrows into joy.
Rest in peace, Father Robinson.
Rev. Fr. Jonathan Robinson
Founder and Provost of the Toronto Oratory
21 May 1929 - 3 June 2020

Fr Robinson was a faithful son of the Church who suffered much persecution. Even when it is darkest, God will always raise up loyal priests to care for the Flock. Fr. Robinson kept the Faith, he fought the good fight.
