Fr Stephen Cross

Of your charity pray for the repose of the soul of Rev. Stephen Cross, priest of the diocese of Lancaster, who departed this life on the 21st day of January 2011, aged 56 years.

Fr Cross was a good friend of the Latin Mass. After several curacies in the diocese he served as parish priest at St. Mary, Barrow in Furness, and St. Thomas, Apostle, Claughton on Brock. More recently he had been in ill health and had been on long-term sick leave. Nonetheless his passing is a great shock.

Father's funeral mass will be at St. Joseph's, Ansdell, at 11.30 on Thursday 3 February, followed by interment at Claughton on Brock. (Note that this is Ansdell, Lytham, not Ainsdale, Southport.)
