Remembering our loved ones
a special quiet reflective service on Sunday 13th July 2008 at 6.30pm.
You are invited to join us for this short reflective service to remember
those who have died. Afterwards there will be an opportunity to meet
other people and to talk about your grief or find support from others
over tea, coffee and cake.
For more information please contact us.
November Remembering
Each year on All Souls' Day we remember our loved ones at a special
service. You can find out more about All Souls' day services at St Agnes
here. If you would like the name of someone who has died to be
remembered at this special Eucharist please contact the parish priest. You
will be most welcome at this service.
At other times we remember the departed in our prayers.
Praying with the Church ...
When someone we love dies we do not forget them. We continue to
think about the times we spent with them, we remember their joys and
sorrows, we remember them with love.
As Christians who believe in the joy of heaven we know that death is not
the end. We believe that those who die in the faith and love of Christ
are alive together with Christ for ever. The Church remembers the dead
in prayer.
The church has traditionally used candles as symbols of prayer. In St
Agnes' church there are two ways of remembering people in our prayers
with candles.
The Sanctuary lamp.
Above the Tabernacle which houses the Blessed Sacrament a light burns
constantly reminding us of Christ's abiding presence with us in the form
of his precious Body and Blood of the Eucharist. Many people find it
helpful to sponsor this perpetual light in memory of a loved one. The
lamp - which burns for seven days from Sunday to Sunday may be
sponsored for £3 a week. The name of the Soul remembered or the
intention of our prayer is displayed at the entrance to the Sacrament
chapel. For more details please contact the parish priest.
The Votive Stand.
Many people find it helpful to light a candle as a symbol of the prayer.
Even after a words and thoughts have ended the candle remains as a
symbol of the enduring presence of Christ in our lives. There are two
candle stands in St Agnes' church - one in front of the icon of the
crucified Christ and one near the statue of Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin.
Donations for these candles are 15p and they can be lit at any time when
the church is open.
