Death and Bereavement

The spiritual help given to the dying is one of the highest priorities of the priests, deacon, and parish Sister.

A parish bereavement team meets regularly to pray for the deceased and their families and to offer support to the bereaved.

Those who have died are remembered daily at Mass and in our prayers. Their memory is kept alive also in a beautiful memorial book in St Anselm's church.
