Requiem mass for Bigley in Liverpool
More than 250 worshippers tonight attended a Requiem Mass for Ken Bigley in Liverpool.
The special requiem mass was held at the Roman Catholic Cathedral, where the Archbishop, the Most Rev Patrick Kelly, prayed for mercy on the soul of Mr Bigley who was “ violently taken from us”.
The Archbishop told the congregation: “In this hour of darkness God gives us all the space we need to grieve, to ask difficult questions, and then to find the glimmer of light.
“Tonight, none of us would dare to say we understand the suffering of the Bigley family. But we wish to be alongside you, we wish not to impose our words or thoughts, simply hold you in our hearts.”
The Archbishop praised the dignity of the Bigley family, saying anyone who had heard the brothers speaking earlier today realised “I am a far lesser person than they are”.
