Sadly, Deacon Peter Lavery died after a short illness.  Peter will be familiar to all those who participated in pre-marriage courses organised by the Diocese.

He was also very supportive in this parish at both St. Godric’s and St. Joseph’s leading funeral services, baptising and marriages.  A straight talker, he was challenging but fair at clergy meetings.  Always available to help, he will be greatly missed.  He was the model of what the Ministry of the Diaconate is.  May he rest in peace.

The catecheses for the Sacrament of Confirmation are now ready to roll out.  Many thanks to those who are leading here.
