It is with sadness that I let you know Fr Edmund Worthy died on Thursday, June 9th 2022 at his home: may he rest in peace. He had borne sickness and disability with great faith, courage, and fortitude for some time.
Ordained to the priesthood in December 1997, Fr Edmund served the parish communities of St Joseph, Luton (1997-2000), Our Lady, Help of Christians, Luton, (2000-2001), Our Lady of Peace, Burnham (2001-2003), and Our Lady of the Sacred Heart and St Edmund Campion, Wellingborough from 2003, before retiring in 2015.
The funeral arrangements have yet to be established and confirmed, but we will advise as soon as we can. In the meantime, do please keep Fr Edmund, and his wider family, in your prayers.
