    It’s with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Father John Fitzpatrick.
    Father John wasn’t just a familiar face at Scholars Lounge, he was part of our story from the very beginning, walking through our doors in September 2005 and becoming a dear friend to all of us ever since. For 20 years, his presence, kindness, and humour brought something truly special to our lives and to the atmosphere here.
    Rome won’t be the same without him, and neither will we. He will be missed more than words can say.
    Rest in peace, John and thank you for everything.
