Canon Alan R.I.P.
It is with great sadness that we announce that Canon Alan passed very peacefully on Friday morning. His sister, Sarah and Emerson were with him. Canon Alan was in no pain and although much weaker these last few days, he did not lose his humour and concern for you all. His love continued to shine through.
Funeral details will be posted, as soon as possible.
At this time, we ask you to pray for his family and all those who knew and loved him.

Praying the Psalms
Jesus grew up praying the psalms. In these unsettled times, maybe we too can find nourishment, consolation and healing in the wisdom of these ancient songs. Join us online for a time of prayer with the psalms – starting Monday 15 June 7-7.30 pm.

The Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Dockhead, is a thriving community with a fascinating past. The present building designed by H. S. Goodhart-Rendel and completed in 1959 (the year of his death) replaces an 1834 gothic church destroyed in the Second World War along with the presbytery and a Pugin-designed convent. The original church was the first Catholic church since the Reformation to be built fronting a public highway.
Dockhead has claims to be the oldest mission in the Archdiocese of Southwark, having been established in 1773 in a chapel which was destroyed in the Gordon riots of 1780.
The fact that we celebrate together in a Grade II* Listed Building, however, doesn’t mean we are living in the past – pay us a visit and join us in living our faith in today’s world.
