There will be an early evening service of All Souls at St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral on Tuesday the 2nd of November to remember those who have departed this mortal world  to reside in glory with the Father

As in previous years, should you wish the name of a friend or loved one who has passed, be that very recently or many years ago, to be read out during the service, please use one of the several methods of communications available to do so.

This can be either via the ‘Contact Us’ option on our website, where you can leave your details, or direct to me on my email at terry_t_2000_uk@yahoo.co.uk. You can also text me the details on 07768219984 or call me on my landline at 01224 588776.

Blessings Always
