🕊️ In Loving Memory of Pope Francis
As we continue to pray for the soul of Pope Francis, the Diocese of Nottingham invites all of us to honour his life of faith, simplicity, and service.

🕯️ Diocesan Services to Commemorate the Holy Father
You are warmly invited to two special diocesan liturgies taking place at St Barnabas Cathedral and two special liturgies taking place at St Winefride's:

📍 Vespers for the Dead
Bishop Patrick is encouraging us to celebrate Vespers for the Dead tomorrow evening (25th).  If any of our non-Catholic friends would like to attend as well, you are more than welcome to do so.
🗓 Friday 25 April, 6:00pm - St Winefride’s, Shepshed - Short service*.
🗓 Friday 25 April, 7:00pm - St Barnabas Cathedral, Nottingham - A time of prayer with civic, ecumenical and interfaith guests.

📍 Diocesan Requiem Mass
Bishop Patrick has requested that each parish celebrates one Requiem Mass on either Saturday or Sunday for the happy repose of the soul of Pope Francis.  The Requiem Mass at St Winefride’s will be the 10:00am Mass on Sunday (27th).
🗓 Saturday 26 April, 6:30pm - St Barnabas Cathedral, Nottingham - Celebrated by Bishop Patrick McKinney. All welcome to attend.
🗓 Sunday 27 April 10:00am - St Winefride’s, Shepshed - Mass**
** The readings at Mass will be the readings for the Second Sunday of Easter (as they speak to the resurrection) but other prayers will be those in the Missal for the Dead - for a Pope.  Copies of these prayers will be available.
