William (Bill) Tomlinson RIP

Please pray for the repose of the soul of William Tomlinson, who died on Monday 10th February 2020.

He was a life-long supporter of the Traditional Mass, and an altar server both man and boy. He regularly served the Monday evening Mass in Maiden Lane, our annual Masses in Westminster Cathedral and the Sacred Triduum in London. Pray also for his wife, Lucy, and family.
