On Thursday 2 November at 8pm we are having a High Mass of Requiem for the feast of All Souls, when we particularly remember and pray for the dead. The choir will sing music by Maurice Duruflé (1902–1986), and all are most welcome to attend: to listen, pray, and light candles for loved ones.
We believe in inclusive Church - church which does not discriminate, on any level, on grounds of economic power, gender, mental health, physical ability, race or sexuality. We believe in Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.
