London, UK, All Soul Day: St Francis Leprosy Guild remembers with grateful thanks, all its legators, whose generosity means that a leprosy-free world is becoming ever nearer.
At the recent Mass celebrating SFLG’s 125th Anniversary, held at St George’s Cathedral, Southwark, the names of all deceased donors were remembered by Chief Concelebrant, Archbishop John Wilson. He said:
whenever you leave a gift to St Francis Leprosy Guild, you will be forever in our prayers. In loving memory, I bless this Book of Remembrance."
A Garden of Remembrance was formally launched, online, to record the names of those who have recently passed away leaving legacies to SFLG in their wills. SFLG's Chief Executive Officer, Clare McIntosh said:
You cannot overestimate the importance of legacies on the successful operation of our ministry.” She continued, “any gift that you leave in your will to SFLG, will make a big difference to people affected by leprosy. Your legacy will prevent life-changing disabilities from developing and restore hope and dignity to some of the poorest, most marginalised people in the world." She concluded: "when leprosy is defeated once and for all, you will know that you played your part.”
SFLG has partnered with the National Free Wills Network, which means that SFLG’s supporters may have a will written or updated for free by a local, qualified solicitor. For more information, please click on this link .
