Fr. John Seddon, the Merseyside County Scout Chaplain has sadly passed away. Fr. John
supported all scout groups and led many initiatives within scouting. He will
sadly be missed
Fr John will be received at the Metropolitan
Cathedral of Christ the King on
Thursday 5th March at 7pm. This will be followed by a short service led by Bishop Tom
Williams. As there are
extremely large numbers expected at the funeral mass, the Thursday night service has been arranged so that those
unable to attend the Friday mass
can pay their respects. The
funeral mass itself will take place on Friday 6th March at 11am at the Cathedral, led by Archbishop McMahon,
followed by internment at SS Peter and Paul RC Church cemetery in
Crosby.
Scout Uniform is welcomed by all those
wishing to attend either service. It may also be nice for those Scouting
friends to assemble together in the Cathedral to participate in both acts of
worship and celebration for
John.
