Archbishop Peter Smith of Southwark was the main celebrant at the Memorial Mass for Hubert John Richards, held on Saturday October 30 in St Aloysius church, Somers Town, London.
Family, friends, colleagues and former students, some who had travelled from overseas, gathered to give thanks for the well-known biblical scholar, author and teacher, who had died on March 24.
In welcoming everyone to the Memorial Mass Archbishop Smith said that the occasion was to mark the life of one who had served his Lord so faithfully in proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom.
