Add a name to our Memorial Tree
November is the month of the Holy Souls in the Church calendar – a time where we mourn, remember and give thanks for those who have died. In our chapel, we have created a Memorial Tree, where the names of those loved ones who have gone before us are displayed throughout the month.
If you would like a loved one’s name to be added to the tree, you can do so easily via the link below. Once submitted, we will ensure your loved one’s name is written and placed on the memorial tree on your behalf. You are also welcome to submit names anonymously if you prefer.
Bishop Challoner Holy Souls Prayer
Throughout November
we remember those,
much loved
who have gone before us.
May The Lord hold them close in peace
and comfort every heart that misses them.
May our memories of them guide us to goodness each day,
and may we walk gently in their honour
until we meet again in God’s great love.
