Icon

As we go into the Depths and Heights of these days, I pray for you to stay close to Christ with Mary and the Beloved Disciple. May the Resurrection be our joy and our hope, filling us with simple, defiant courage for LIFE to prevail over everything that is deadly.

Welcome!

The Parish of Our Lady of Dolours is part of the Westminster RC Diocese and in the pastoral care of the Servite Friars. Welcome to our website, we hope you enjoy your visit. »


PRAYER FOR OUR BELOVED DEAD

Merciful Father,
hear our prayers and console us.
As we renew our faith in your Son,
Whom you raised from the dead,
strengthen our hope that all our departed brothers and sisters will share in His Resurrection,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen
