Canon Christopher Tuckwell RIP – The Year’s Mind

The Anniversary Prayer of the Church

On Friday 25 June Cardinal Vincent celebrated a Year’s Mind Solemn Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of the Cathedral’s late Administrator, Canon Christopher Tuckwell. The continuing Covid-19 restrictions meant, sadly, that there could be no post-Mass reception in Cathedral Hall, as had been planned and desired. However, a good number of the faithful were present for the Mass, with a representative group of clergy concelebrating, as the images show.
