An outgoing vicar has one important job before he leaves -- dedicating a memorial to one of his predecessors.The Rev Nicholas Gandy with the new pulpit cloth, a memorial to the late Mr Keating

The Rev Nicholas Gandy, of St Peter's Church, Didcot, is moving to another St Peter's, in Brackley, after nine years.

On Sunday, June 29, St Peter's Day, a pulpit hanging -- embroidered with a gold Celtic cross on a red background -- will be dedicated in thanksgiving for the ministry of the late Rev 'Pat' Keating who died last year aged 91. Mr Keating is remembered for helping establish a number of groups and activities.
