Each November there is a special service held in remembrance of the dead, particularly those who have died in the last 12 months.

Parishioners are asked if they would like to carry a memoriam candle for those who have died since last November to the Sanctuary and place it before the Altar during Mass. Please see Father Tim or Deacon Philip for further details.

Another way in which we remember those who have died or thank those who help us through our grief is by working with the Lions club and hosting a “Tree of Light” at St Mary’s. Each year a tree is provided by the Lions and you can sponsor a light on the tree. The children from our local primary school come and sing for us and Father performs a blessing. The tree is then lit through Advent and the Christmas season. All the sponsor money then goes to local charities which the Lions and Church support.
