The many Masses, sympathy cards and love from parishioners, friends and family are greatly appreciated. As Fr Mark celebrated Derek’s Requiem Mass the silence in the packed church was extraordinary.

A CALL TO ACTION We are a group of Catholics, some of whom are ordained brought together by our love of Christ’s church and our anxiety about its future. Still inspired by the second Vatican Council, we want to contribute fully to the life of our church so that we may be a more effective Sign of the kingdom of God. To do this, we believe that an atmosphere of openness and dialogue both with each other and with our church leadership needs developing. Accordingly, we aim to supply channels of free and frank communication. We desire to help create a climate of trust and respect for all where this dialogue may be fostered.
