It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Fr. Edgar Koning, O.Carm. Fr. Edgar was born in 1932 in the Netherlands, made his first profession as a Carmelite in 1954, was ordained a priest in 1960. He served the Order both in the Netherlands and in the Philippines. He died today (03/31/2020), as a result of Covid-19.  He was 87. The General Curia extends its condolences to the Dutch Province and to Fr. Edgar's family.

May he rest in peace.

“The death of Edgar has been a hard blow to many people,” said Fr. Ben Wolbers, Co-Provincial of the Dutch Carmelites, in a letter to his confreres. “Caring for mutual solidarity, connectedness and respect for the uniqueness of each person – that really characterized him,” he said. Fr. Koning was laid to rest on April 4 in the town of Zenderen, where he was last assigned as Prior of the Carmelite’s convent.
