Service to be held at St Edmundsbury Cathedral for those who have experienced the death of a child

A special annual service for those who have experienced the death of a child is to take place at St Edmundsbury Cathedral, in Bury St Edmunds, later this month.

Called “Remembering Together” it is being held on Saturday, September 19, at 3.30pm.

This is an annual service of readings, music and prayer and offers a space to remember, to grieve, and to find solace in the company of others who know loss. All are welcome, whatever your faith or if you have none.

The Rev Canon Matthew Vernon, Canon Pastor at St Edmundsbury Cathedral, said: “This service is for anyone who has lost a child. 

“We work together with our pastoral team to offer this service, and it aims to bring together people at any stage of their grief, recent or past, and offer support through community. 

“We believe grief is a lifelong journey, and you shouldn’t walk it alone.”
