All names received are placed before the altar of the Columban chapel in Solihull.
Rest in Peace
Lord, be good to them,
And show them all your love.
Lord, be kind to them,
And grant them peace above.
Lord, be merciful to them,
And wipe their sins away.
Lord, be generous to them,
With all my heart I pray.
Lord, be gracious to them,
For the good that they have done.
Lord, be gentle to them,
For sufferings undergone.
Lord, may we meet again at last,
When heaven’s crown’s been won.
