We are here for you throughout your life's journey - the happy and the sad times. Please do get in touch if you would like to mark a special life event, here at St Francis.

Baptisms

We would be happy to talk to you about baptism of your baby and/or older child(ren) as a way of welcoming them into the family of God. If you are an adult and were not baptised as a child then baptism might be an appropriate part of your own faith journey, we welcome your enquiries.

Weddings & blessings of marriage

We would be delighted to talk to you about your wedding, or marriage blessing. Our bright modern Church can offer you a special venue for a wedding with up to 100 guests. Photos can be taken in our garden or field as well as outside the building. It may also be possible for you to hire a hall or room for a small reception. If you live in our parish and are getting married in another Church we will need to arrange for your banns to be called.

Funerals

If you need to arrange a funeral we can help with the service.

We can offer you a service in our Church building and/or in a cemetery or crematorium. Our clergy will meet with you before the service to find out more about your loved one and the service you would like will be discussed with you, including your choice of music etc.

We do not have a graveyard, but do have an area consecrated for the interment of ashes.

We also have a memorial book in the church where your loved ones details can be included, this is beside a flower arrangement and a facility for lighting candles.

Each year we hold an annual memorial service. Your loved one's name will automatically be included the year after they die, but you can ask for them to be remembered in future years too.

We can also arrange for visits to the bereaved as they cope with their loss.

Please contact us, or ask your funeral director to do so.
