Dear Sisters and Brothers,
With sadness we share the news of the death of the Rev. Canon E. (Edward) Nils Blatz, a retired priest of the Diocese of Long Island.
Canon Blatz, 84, died peacefully on Sunday, December 8, 2024, following a long illness. Ordained to the priesthood in December 1965 by Bishop Jonathan Goodhue Sherman, his long ministry in the Diocese of Long Island included service at Grace Church, Brooklyn Heights, Trinity Church, Roslyn and as Vicar at Church of the Redeemer, Mattituck.
A memorial service will be held in January in Ossining, NY.
Please pray for the repose of his soul and for his wife Leslie and their family as they mourn his death.
Faithfully,
The Rev. Canon Patricia S. Mitchell
Canon for Pastoral Care
May the soul of God's servant departed rest in peace, and may light perpetual shine upon him.
Condolences may be sent to:
