We were sorry to learn the sad news of the death of a long serving pilgrim, Bernard Murray.
Many will remember Bernard, a key member of the Hotel Team, and the brother of the late Fr Michael Murray. Bernard was a very kind, witty and humble man.
His funeral will take place on Friday 21 Nov at 12 noon in St Hilda's, 66 Kenworthy Lane, Northenden, Manchester M22 4EF.
May he rest in peace.
