Please be advised that the doors to St Mary’s Cathedral, Hexham will open at 11.30am on Friday 29th July. There will be reserved seating for Fr Dermott’s family and close friends and the remainder of the seating in the Cathedral will be on a first come first served basis. Once the Cathedral is full people will be guided to the Cathedral courtyard where the Mass will be broadcast and Holy Communion will be distributed.

The Mass will also be live streamed on St Mary’s Cathedral website and from the video below.

Please be reminded of a statement from the Donnelly family:

Due to limited space in the Cathedral, we would encourage those who wish to participate in the Requiem Mass on Friday 29 July to gather at St Michael’s Church, Westmorland Road, where the Mass will be live-streamed and Holy Communion will be made available. Following the Requiem Mass, Fr Dermott’s cortège will pass St Michael’s for those who wish to pay their respects.
