Pope Francis leaves behind us a legacy like no other. He was above all a prayerful man of the people. Mass will be celebrated for him at St Aelred’s on Saturday 26th April at 6pm and St Mary’s on Sunday 4th May at 10.30am. We are all called to serve and take from his example the call to pray, reflect and be church together. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
