Of your charity please pray for the repose of Neil’s soul & for the family at this time. Neils funeral service will be held at St Thomas More’s Tuesday December 10th at Noon.

For your information or assistance…

We have two email addresses that perform different roles. Just to clear any confusion here is a reminder.

holyroodchurchmr@outlook.com is the one to use to communicate with Fr. Robert directly re spiritual, personal, or ongoing matters.

holyroodmr@gmail.com  was set up in 2020 to deal with general enquiries, communication generated via the website, and third parties such as West Lindsey churches festival. These emails are initially looked at by the bulletin team and passed to Fr. Robert if appropriate.
