TORONTO - A one-time national director of the Marian Movement of Priests for English-speaking Canada, a teacher and a mentor in Catholic high schools and universities, a counsellor and confidant, Basilian Fr. Lawrence James Faye died peacefully at Providence Health Care July 25.
Faye had been a priest since 1950 and a Basilian since professing first vows Aug. 15, 1943. He was born the son of William and Catharine Faye in Toronto, Oct. 6, 1915.
He started out teaching math and English at Basilian boys schools in Windsor, Saskatoon and Toronto, but spent his summers at Notre Dame University in South Bend, Ind. studying counselling and guidance. He took his masters in counselling psychology from Notre Dame in 1969, continued his studies at St. Thomas University in Houston, Tex. and was awarded his PhD. by Notre Dame in 1971. Following post-doctoral studies at the CG Jung Institutes in Houston and in Zurich, he worked as a psychotherapist at the Southdown Institute north of Toronto, taught pastoral counselling at the Toronto School of Theology and worked in the St. Michael's Hospital department of psychology.
In 1983 Faye was back in a Basilian high school at St. Michael's College School, where he also took on duties as national director of the Marian Movement of Priests for English Canada.
He moved to Anglin House in Toronto in 2000, and as his health deteriorated moved to Povidence Health Care in 2004.
He is survived by two of his brothers, Gordon and Francis. He is predeceased by brothers Martin, Edward, Alfred Howard, John and sisters Helen, Irene and Vivian. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at the Cardinal Flahiff Basilian Centre chapel July 29. He is buried in the Basilian plot of Holy Cross Cemetery, Thornhill.
