This morning at around 6.15, Fr Michael Targett MAfr returned to the Father. Michael returned to UK from many years in Ghana and was a lively and valued member of our community in Little Ealing Lane, taking part in everything and bringing his own deep spirituality to community liturgies.. He continued his work of spiritual direction until he began to be troubled with various medical difficulties, which meant that he had to receive treatment in Ealing hospital. The difficulties seemed to multiply and Michael’s health became more and more fragile and his breathing more and more laboured. Over the last few days he received many visits from family and confreres and received the Last Sacrament. Michael was lucid and well prepared to meet His Lord calmly and trustingly. May he rest in the Peace which he preached to others for so many years. let us pray for him and his family, and we trust that now he is praying for us.
The Requiem Mass for Fr Mike will be celebrated on Thursday 6th March 2025 at St John the Evangelist Church at 11 am.
The burial will take place at 1 pm at St Mary’s Cemetery , Kensal Rise.
There will be a reception after the burial at Little Ealing Lane.
