Education Sunday, last Sunday we also raised £363.61, many thanks for your generosity. At Saint Teresa’s we have been one with our nation in prayer in its grief as we mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth. Our hearts beat with thanks for her life of witness. We are forever grateful that her long reign was richly blessed. Her words and actions spoke volumes of her love as a servant of the people. She was the Mother of Our Nation and a living page of the gospel. She will be missed.
As we grieve her loss we also pray for our new King – Charles III as he embarks on a journey of service. We wish him well and will keep him and his family in our prayers.
