On or near the Feast of All Souls, a special Mass of Remembrance is celebrated in our parish for all our deceased loved ones. As a Parish community, we now hope to commemorate our deceased parishioners in two very special and everlasting ways:

Firstly, we think it fitting to establish a dedicated Altar of Remembrance on which a Parish Memorial Book will be placed as a perpetual reminder of all our deceased parishioners.

Secondly, we also wish to provide families and friends of our deceased parishioners - and benefactors - the option to dedicate individual/family Memorial Plaques which will be permanently mounted on the walls around this Altar.

A “Memorial Plaque” brochure, available after Mass in the sacristy, contains more details of these plans. We hope you share our view that these plans provide a befitting memorial to our deceased loved ones and that you will support our endeavours.
