It is with a heavy heart that I announce the death of our dear Fr Albert on Tuesday morning. He died peacefully in Wellow ward with Pat at his side. Fr Albert was aware of the love that surrounded him from all that knew him. This is the end of a great chapter in the life of St Saviour's and The Good Shepherd. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. I ask that Pat is held in your prayers and given time and space to come to terms with her loss.
