Extended Communion with the Reserved Sacrament is intended as a means of facilitating regular reception of Holy Communion. In this service the Reserved Sacrament (previously consecrated by a Priest) is distributed by suitably trained lay people with the approval of the Area and Diocesan Bishops. Extended Communion indicates that the lay person “extends” the Communion, celebrated within the Benefice by our Priests, across the whole Benefice.
The liturgy for Communion by Extension can be found here. If you wish for further information, please find attached ‘Guidelines on Communion from the Reserved Sacrament’ and ‘Ad Clerum on Communion from the Reserved Sacrament’

Also known as the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed, All Souls' Day on 2nd November is an opportunity to remember those who are no longer with us. The service in the church at 7pm will be a time of quiet reflection, when those who wish to can light a candle in memory of their loved ones and join with others in thanksgiving and prayer. At this service it is customary to read out the names of those who have died in recent years. Unfortunately, due to the disruption of the past three years, we fear that our church's records are incomplete. If you would like the name of a deceased family member or friend mentioned, you will be asked to write their name clearly on a card when you arrive, so please allow time for this before the service begins.
