St Margaret's Lowestoft

W E L C O M E

St. Margaret's is Lowestoft's ancient Parish Church and is rich in history.

Christians have worshipped on this site for over 1100 years.

The church is a beautiful Grade 1 listed medieval building.

Its iconic illuminated blue spire, which can be seen across the town, is a visible symbol of God's love for us all.

Friendly and welcoming, we seek to meet people wherever they are on life's journey,

whether you wish to join us for worship or simply seek some space for reflection.

A Prayer for Pope Francis (1936 - 2025)

Following the death of His Holiness Pope Francis, we pray for his life of ministry, for the Catholic Communion and the whole worldwide Christian church family at this sad time.

A Prayer from the Church of England

Father in heaven, we praise your name
for all who have finished this life loving and trusting you,
for the example of their lives,
the life and grace you gave them
and the peace in which they rest.
We praise you today for your servant Francis
and for all that you did through him.
Meet us in our sadness
and fill our hearts with praise and thanksgiving,
for the sake of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ.

Into your hands, O merciful Saviour,
we commend your servant Francis.
Acknowledge, we pray, a sheep of your own fold,
a lamb of your own flock,
a sinner of your own redeeming.
Enfold him in the arms of your mercy,
in the blessed rest of everlasting peace
and in the glorious company of the saints in light.

Amen.
