Fr Paul Sanders, a founder member of ACTA and Parish Priest of Holy Cross Church, Carshalton, died just before midnight on 29th January 2021 of Covid 19 Virus.

Every breath
is a life and a death.
We must breathe out
Before we can breathe in.
We need to trust the breath
That is still to come
If we are to empty our lungs
Hoping they will be filled again.
