A message to all our supporters from Francis House CEO David Ireland
Wednesday 28th September 2022
It is with sadness that we share the news that Father Tom died peacefully yesterday at Little Sisters of the Poor, Plymouth Grove.
Father Tom was one of the people responsible for Francis House, he has been a Trustee and the Roman Catholic Chaplain since our inception and will be greatly missed. Father Tom brought a great deal of hope to families of all faiths as he quietly spread the Gospel message of life eternal through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Father Tom will be received into Salford Cathedral at 7pm on the 26th of October 2022. The Requiem Mass will take place at 12.10 pm on the 27th of October 2022.
Please remember him, his family and his colleagues in your prayers. May he rest in peace.
