Thank you
to everyone who has held the fort in the Parish during my Covid self-isolation.
I am fully recovered now, thankfully, and am very grateful for everyone's kindness and concern.
Thanks again in particular to Fr Tim Pike from St Michael's, Croydon who celebrated and preached last Sunday.

Lily Jacobs RIP
The sad news of Lily’s death was announced last Sunday.
She died in Croydon University Hospital on 1 January 2022. Before her short stay in hospital she was a long-term resident of Albany Lodge Nursing Home in Croydon.
She greatly appreciated people’s letters, cards and assurances of prayers, and received excellent pastoral and sacramental care in recent months from Fr Michael Bailey, Fr Luke Demetri, and Fr Tim Pike.
Details of her funeral arrangements will be published in due course.
We pray for Lily, that she may enter into the peace of Christ’s nearer presence, for her family, and for all who mourn.
May she rest in peace.
