The central sanctuary lamp in the church has been removed for some repairs and cleaning.

The lamp burns night and day—a living flame—which indicates the real and living presence of Our Lord in the Tabernacle. This follows the tradition of the seven lamps which burned in the presence of God in the Temple in Jerusalem. The six candles, on the Altar are redolent of this—the seventh being lit when the Bishop presides. Each week the lamp burns in memory of someone who has sponsored the lamp for a deceased loved-one or for someone's intentions. This is a lovely little custom that expresses faith, because the living flames symbolise our prayers that remain alive before God’s presence.
