Update January 22, 2010
Father Allard has continued to concelebrate at each scheduled opportunity (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday). Today, it looked like he had a little "extra". He'd asked if anyone (down in the chapel on the second floor) was waiting for him to celebrate the Mass today. I replied, "No, but you look as if you might be able to preside today." Time constraints wouldn't permit us to attempt that today. However tomorrow - Saturday January 23, 2010 we are planning to attempt to have Father Allard preside at a Mass to be offered for the holy souls in Purgatory.
... continuing to pray and hope.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Although he was not as much "in form" as the previous day,Father Allard did indeed privately celebrate / preside at the Mass on January 23rd , successfully as we'd hoped. Degree of difficulty was extreme though. The choice is always left up to him. There are a few factors at work now:
* He is out of the routine of presiding.
* He is physically weaker.
* He has experiences marked dificulty consuming the Sacred Species
.
After the Mass had concluded he told me, " I don't think I will do that (preside) again" . He was not remarking on his preference but rather how difficult it is for him to preside in his present condition. It took everything he had (and then a little).

UPDATE February 7, 2010
Father Allard has been successfully concelebrating the Holy Sacrifice on Tuesdays , Thursdays and Sundays up to and including yesterday - February 7,2010. But recently, it has been a silent concelebration. His illnesses seemed to have gained some more ground.
I’m not at liberty to give out too many facts, but this time is particularly difficult for his brother, who is left with making the decisions re. Father Allard’s treatment options. Please remember him also in your prayers.
It is even more difficult than usual for Father Allard to take food or drink lately.
It's one of those periods where we’re left squinting looking for the bright spots. One bright spot that has shown up, is the fact that on the days I go to see him to bring him Holy Communion we can talk for up to an hour sometimes...usually about what needs rectifying within the Church. Because he isn’t able to speak very much, and even this practically inaudibly, I end up doing the majority of the talking (my mother used to tell me I never had problem in this area) and I’ll look to see what his facial expressions/reactions will be – sometimes a frown, sometimes a nod, sometimes some rarely intelligible speech ... but my favorite by far is when if I can get him to smile or laugh (like a ray of sunshine peeking out from behind a face well-weathered by the spiritual war and by victimhood).
Sometimes “Thy will be done” doesn’t quite roll off the tongue the way it’s supposed to.

Father Allard completed another successful week of concelebrations. Most notable of these would be yesterday- Sunday , February 14th , 2010 . He was blessed with enough of a voice to audibly say his part of Eucharistic Prayer IV (in french) . It came out nice and clear. Our prayers are sustaining him.
Thanks for each one.

UPDATE March 9, 2010
Father Allard has continued to concelebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass successfully on the scheduled Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thanks for the prayers.
The Sunday before last (February 28, 2010) one of Father Allard's Servite confrères came to visit him and attended Mass too. We also have another priest (86 years old) presently at the Institute temporarily for rehabilitation. So February 28th, there were a total of 4 priests at the Institute's Sunday Mass - 3 concelebrating. Thanks for the prayers.
Talk about feeling power when you pray ! ... Thanks for the prayers.
Last Friday, March 5, after bringing Father Allard Holy Communion,I mentioned to him that his friends on the internet were continuing to pray for him. I asked if there was anything "...you would like to say to them?"
He replied, "Que Dieu les remplisse avec sa Benediction" which, roughly translated , is:
"May God fill them with his blessing."
Thanks for the prayers.
Sunday afternoon (March 7) Father Allard heard my confession.
...BTW, ... Did I mention "Thanks for the prayers?"
Hail Mary,

Blessed art thou amongst women

Thank you for praying for Fr. Allard.
Fr. Allard's brother is still reading our prayers on Catholic Answers Forum. His brother is deeply moved by reading our prayers. I posted some of your prayers on Catholic Answers Forum.
Fr. Allard's brother is asking for our prayers, that God would grant him wisdom, in how to make the best health care decisions for Fr. Allard.
Jesus performs miracles through Fr. Allard. The doctors state he should not concelebrate the holy sacrifice of the Mass. But Jesus sustains him as Fr. wants to continue to do it.
It takes much preparation to prepare Fr. Allard for the holy sacrifice of the Mass. Then his assistant prepares everything for him. He's tired. But his love is deep and sincere; his love is rooted straight into the heart of The Father, genuine love for you and for me.

Update on Fr. Allard 3-30-10, by Doug
Father Allard has continued to successfully concelebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Today (Tues, March 30, 2010) he will be offering the Holy Sacrifice for the intentions of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Last Sunday's (March 28) celebration was a little unusual. We had to celebrate Passion Sunday without any palms. Apparently the palms were ordered but didn't show up... and I have a feeling that they won't show up now (the only thing more embarrasing for a supplier if the palms don't arrive by Palm Sunday, is if they arrive after... ). There wasn't even any time to improvise.
On the brighter side, despite becoming physically a little weaker, Father Allard had enough of a voice on Passion Sunday to audibly participate in his concelebration in the auditorium. For this to happen his microphone has to be turned up louder than the other mics and has to be positioned in very close proximity to his lips, without obscuring his view of the text of the Eucharistic Parayer in his Missal.
When it works, it is particularly edifying for some of the patients (more than 90% are wheelchair-bound) who see one of "the gang" , celebrating with them. It is also edifying for Father Allard's brother and for any of his confrères who might drop by occasionally to discover that despite such adversity, Father Allard continues to exercise his priestly ministry.
Yesterday, when I brought him Holy Communion, his electronic chair was broken down again (this chair seems to be forever in need of repair). Getting his chair back soon is probably a good focus for several of our prayers. In terms of one's autonomy, even just barely being able to move around in an electronic chair is of immeasurable significance. It provides a person with the capacity to say :
"I'm going to move from this point in the room over to that point."
Thanks everyone for the prayers.

Fr. Allard is diagnosed with pneumonia. 
Please pray for him. He could be suffering with the dark night of the soul; the time a soul feels abandoned by God. Fr. Allard deserves all our love and gratitude.
He remains in my prayers as I pray the rosary; I'm increasing my prayers.

Holy Mary Mother of God, please hold your beloved son in your arms. Amen.
UPDATE
Let’s take it from here :
On Good Friday, April 2nd 2010, I arrived at the Institute in the early afternoon only to find that all activities (Good Friday service included) had been cancelled due to an outbreak of gastroenteritis. Several floors were under full quarantine (still are). On Father Allard's floor the residents were/are still being allowed one visitor at a time. So we celebrated the Passion of our Lord together in his room and he received Holy Communion. Father Allard can only receive a small fragment of a Host now due to difficulties in swallowing. His one working arm/hand, no longer permits him the ability to place Holy Communion in his mouth himself ... I had to place it on his tongue.
We followed this with about 2 decades of the Rosary, after which Father Allard couldn't take any more - he was just too exhausted.
Holy Saturday afternoon, owing to an increasing weakness, Father Allard was brought Holy Communion in the form of viaticum. I suggested we read the gospel from the Easter Vigil in anticipation of its celebration elsewhere several hours later. Again, when we attempted to follow up with a Rosary, Father Allard could only take about 2 decades.
The hope was that Easter Sunday the Chaplain would still celebrate a private Mass in the chapel although the official Mass was cancelled due to no residents being allowed to circulate. In the past, this would happen and we were permitted to bring Father Allard down to concelebrate this Mass in the chapel.
Easter Sunday, the Chaplain did show up, but Father Allard had become much weaker (too sick to concelebrate) and remained in bed on oxygen. I brought him Holy Communion and we read the Gospel for Easter Sunday. Later in the afternoon after the rest of the apostolate had been completed, there was a little time to return and visit Father Allard.
On Monday April 5th one of Father Allard's brothers was in to see him. We learned it was no longer simply a case of pneumonia. There is a serious disease of the blood now. It is unlikely that Father Allard's weakened immune system can continue to win any battles and if he doesn't respond to the antibiotics, they also may have to be withdrawn . What I'm relating (about the blood) is what I received from his brother over the phone in french so I'm not familiar with all of the french medical terms for blood disorders but this one would seem to have involve a low white blood cell count.
Yesterday, Tuesday April 6th , I was in to see Father Allard. He received viaticum, but due to very extreme difficulty swallowing I had to give him a fragment of Holy Communion about the size of the lead tip of a sharpened pencil, and then could only place several drops of water on his tongue to help him consume it. They are continuing to hydrate him intravenously .
He was read the Gospel . We tried a slightly different approach for the Rosary. I suggested , since he could give no audible response, that he could simply follow it with me, and that I would recite it slowly. After 2 decades, I explained to him where we were and which mysteries we were praying then asked if we should continue – He nodded. So we prayed two more decades and then completed the Glorious Mysteries praying the final decade after getting another nod of his approval.
When he was woken a little later by a loud noise out in the hallway , I prayed an hour of the breviary audibly standing right beside him so he could follow it. Up to that point, all the prayers had been in french, but I don’t know my way around a french breviary too well, so the hour was prayed in english. This didn’t bother Father Allard or impede his understanding at all. Actually, earlier in his life, as a missionary in Africa, he taught english to his parishoners.
It could be as early as today that treatment (antibiotics) may need to be withdrawn.
Although Father Allard has come back several times from some serious bouts with pneumonia, these latest developments present themselves as more critical, particularly in light that he continues to weaken.
We may well be approaching the moment when it is all consummated and Father Allard says in unison with our Blessed Lord, “It is finished.”
Hail Mary,
full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now,
and at the hour of our death.
AMEN

This update is being posted Mercy Sunday , April 11th , 2010 at approximately 9:30 EST . Shortly I will be leaving for the apostolate at the institute where Father Allard is a resident.
On Wednesday April 7th , Father’s condition was officially classified as the “final phase” . At this point there is a type of care often given which is called in french “soins de confort” – very roughly translated – “comfort care” . Relative to the wishes of the family, the patient may be given oxygen, medication to reduce pain, another medication to reduce spasms, and yet another medication can sometimes be used to control secretions in the patient’s lungs. Each case is unique to the patient’s needs.
Father Allard was able to receive a very tiny morsel of Holy Communion on this day. Two of his brothers spent most of the day with him. Later I’d managed to figure out the single volume of his french breviary , so an hour was prayed beside him in the French language (first time I’ve ever prayed the breviary in french). The Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary were also prayed beside him.
Thursday April 8th had more visitors coming to see Father Allard. I could only see him in the evening on the 8th . Father Allard again received a tiny morsel of Holy Communion. Efforts that day were successful in continuing to sign the day with the Holy Rosary and at least one hour from the breviary at his bedside.
Friday evening April 9th also included the Glorious Mysteries and several hours from the breviary, but Father Allard no longer presented in a way that would permit Holy Communion to be administered orally (his eyes were closed and there was not a whole lot of visible exterior response to questions comments).
Yesterday, Saturday April 10th , I had the privilege of accompanying Father Allard from about 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm. He had several visits including two from his confrères (Order of Servites). Again, the Glorious mysteries of the Rosary, Morning & Evening prayer in French from the breviary were recited at his bedside...we might include mention of the myriad of prayers taking place in his room, from his brothers, confrères, the staff, even staff visiting him from different wards of the Institute. The patients have been visiting too. There’s a special affection towards him from the patients because he is a priest and at the same time one of the “gang”.
Probably , the simplest way it could be described now, is that since Thursday evening, Father Allard seems to be easing into a deeper and deeper sleep progressively.
God bless each one praying for him.
Our Father , who art in Heaven
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,

It was my wish that everyone could have known a little sooner , but there was so much time spent accompanying him 12 of those last 13 days he spent on earth, I'd become a little worn down. I further hoped to be able to point people to an obituary link, but the two french language newspapers here (La Presse and Journal de Montréal) don't supply a link to the exact page - only to their website. The obituary was the same in both, one site however contained a pic.
For those of us who like to fish here are the links to the french language Montreal newspaper websites , and (for search purposes) there are three different terms that are used to denote obituary sections or columns - décès , obituaires, or nécrologie
For easier reading , I copied the pic and french obituary and posted it below , directly after which I roughly translated (in green) the notable parts of Father Allard's service - taken from the obituary. After that, I posted another pic I had of him.

Durant 20 ans, il fut professeur de musique. Il sera exposé au Salon le jeudi 15 avril de 14 h à 19 h 30. Translation ce même soir à 19 h 30 à l'église Saint-Donat (angle Arcand et de Marseille). Les funérailles auront lieu vendredi 16 avril à 10 h 30 au même endroit. L'inhumation suivra au cimetière Notre-Dame des Servites, Ayer's Cliff, Québec.
Father Allard:
* Deceased at the age of 84.
* He was a member of the Order of Servites (Servites de Marie) for 64 years.
* He served as a missionary in Swaziland, South Africa from 1956-1974.
* He served at Saint Donat’s parish in Montreal from 1974-1976.
* For 20 years he devoted his service to those suffering from mental illness.
* He was a music teacher for 20 years.
The obituary fails to mention that while in Swaziland, Father Allard also taught english.
Also missing from the obituary are any details about his ministry during his ten years plus receiving long-term care at the "Institut"... the years during which I had the privilege of assisting him, while he also assisted me in the capacity of spiritual director , confessor , mentor, and overall dear friend.
To give you an idea, it is important for anyone in long-term care to do whatever they are able to do physically...in order to preserve their autonomy. So in the beginning ( when he first came to the Institut - around January, 2000), Father Allard kept his own Mass Register. As things progressed, I would help him in this area. By 2005, Father Allard's one working hand no longer had the ability to write, so the Mass Register became my total responsibility.
I wanted to give his superior an idea of just how active Father Allard was as a priest during his protracted illness despite the daunting disablities which constantly threatened to overtake him. So I reviewed his Mass Registers from the year 2005 onwards.
We can safely say that in his 10 years in long-term care , Father Allard celebrated the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass over 2000 times (both presiding and concelebrating) ; this, based on what appears in his Mass Registers from 2005-2010 :
From January 1, 2005 to April 1, 2010 , Father Georges-Étienne Allard, OSM offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass 1, 366 times.
It has to be more than fotuitous that the last Mass Father Allard would celebrate was the Mass of the Lord's Supper on April 1st, 2010 - the Mass for priests.
Here's a pic of Father Allard in early November 2008
Father Allard's funeral will be held on Friday, April 16th , at 10:30 am EST .
Thanks everyone for the prayers.
... I believe in the Communion of Saints...
Our Father , who art in Heaven
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us , this day, our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary , full of grace.
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
