Due to Covid restrictions this year's St Thomas More Alumni Memorial Mass will not take place as usual at the school. Instead it will be celebrated at Sacred Heart church (Southchurch Road, Southend) on Thursday 24th June at 8pm under the current social distancing guidelines.

There are an additional 12 names on the list of deceased former pupils and staff since the last Memorial Mass and this 30-year-old tradition provides an opportunity for all past pupils, members of staff and governors of the school to honour those no longer with us.

There is no need to pre-book a place and it will also be possible to participate online by watching the livestream via www.southendcatholic.co.uk.
