We remember Frank Callus whose funeral will take place this week. Frank was a long standing and loved member of our parish. He contributed so much to the life of the Parish; and to the lives of young people in the area through his role as a teacher. May he rest in peace, and may Molly and his family be comforted. … pause
Lord hear us
In silence let us ask God for our needs and the needs of our friends and families………… ………..long pause…………….Â
