It is with sadness that we commend to the Lord the soul of Deacon Stephen O'Connor who died on Tuesday 24th March 2026. Throughout his life, including as a teacher and latterly as a deacon of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, Stephen faithfully served the Lord with much love in his heart, and with great humour. We pray for Deacon Stephen, for his wife, Janet, and their family, and for the Manchester Mission. Details of Deacon Stephen's funeral will be confirmed in due course.
O ALMIGHTY God, the God of the spirits of all flesh: multiply, we beseech thee, to those who rest in Jesus, the manifold blessings of thy love, that the good work which thou didst begin in them may be perfected unto the day of Jesus Christ. And of thy mercy, O heavenly Father, vouchsafe that we, who now serve thee here on earth, may at the last,, together with them, be found meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; for the sake of the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
