A Space to Remember
All four of the churches in our parish will be open between 11am & 3 pm on Saturday 31st October, 2026.
Welcome. You are invited to spend some time here remembering someone you love, giving thanks for their life, and bringing whatever you are carrying today.

You may be feeling sadness, gratitude, anger, confusion, relief, regret, numbness, or many things at once. There is no right way to grieve, and there is no right order in which to visit the prayer stations.

You do not need to complete every station. You do not need to speak, write anything down, or explain yourself to anyone.

Take what time you need. Sit in silence. Light a candle. Remember. Weep. Give thanks. Ask questions. Be angry. Rest.

You do not have to find answers today, and you do not have to leave feeling different from when you arrived.

May you find a little space to be yourself, and may you know that you do not have to carry your grief alone.

God is near to the brokenhearted.
