Carol’s funeral will be at noon on Tuesday, 3rd February at the RC Cathedral Church of St Michael and St George, Queens Avenue, Aldershot GU11 2BY and afterwards at the neighbouring St Andrews Scottish Garrison Church Hall. There is plenty of parking at the churches. Everyone is welcome. We will say farewell to Carol at the church and then we hope everyone will join us in the church hall to continue to celebrate Carol’s life and share our memories of her.
Welcome to the website of the St Francis of Assisi Catholic Ramblers Club . Unfortunately the advent of Covid 19 prevented a suitable celebration but every time the law allowed the Sunday rambles took place and were well attended and enjoyed by our members.
Regards
