HER LATE MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II As our nation is now in a period of national mourning, our Patronal Festival will not take place as planned. This Sunday's service at 10am will be a Solemn Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of the late Queen Elizabeth II with prayers for His Majesty King Charles III and the Royal Family. Afterwards we will eat together and toast our new King on his Accession, so please do plan to stay on for our buffet lunch. We do hope that all those who had planned to attend the Patronal Festival will now attend this important service.

WELCOME We extend a warm welcome to the Honourable Member for Ilford South, Sam Tarry MP who is with us today for our service and who will read the lesson.

BOOK OF CONDOLENCE Our parish has opened a Book of Condolence and this will remain open during the period of national mourning, after which the book will be retained in the parish archives and a letter sent by Fr Gareth on behalf of the ecclesiastical parish to The King. Please do take time to sign the book which is on the St Anne's altar in church. In addition you may also like to sign the online Book of Condolence which has been opened by the Palace; you can do that here: https://www.royal.uk/send-message-condolence
