Chris, Claire and all the family wish to thank you all for your cards, messages of condolence and flowers during this sad time. They have all been overwhelmed with the love and prayers they are receiving.
Due to the current restrictions on numbers and social distancing, Gerald’s Funeral Service, on Friday 24th July, will be by invitation only.
However, a Mass of Thanksgiving for Gerald’s life will be held as soon as we are able.
Donations in Memory of Gerald are welcome. These will go towards refurbishment of the coffee bar/ area in church. Cheques made payable to St Chad’s PCC. Donation ‘Gift Aid’ envelopes for this are available at the back of church or from one of the wardens.

if you haven’t done so already, now is the
time to get your phones and cameras out

Entry will be £1 for each photo submitted.
All photos will be used in a special display in

There will also be an overall winner’.
