It is with regret that we have to inform you of the passing of Peter Bean on 10th August.
Peter was at the College as a late joiner in Syntax in 1954 leaving Rhetoric in 1957.
Peter's funeral mass will be held at 11 am on Friday 22nd August at Corpus Christi Church Headington, followed by an informal reception in the church hall next door.
The Catholic Church of Corpus Christi,
Margaret Road,
Headington OX3 8AJ
Telephone: 01865 762433
E-mail: corpuschristi.oxford@rcaob.org.uk
The mass can also be live streamed using the following link
Peter wished for a colourful celebration of his life and had requested people refrained from wearing black at his mass.
The family suggests, should you wish to, a donation in Peter's memory may be made to either CAFOD or a charity of your choice rather then sending flowers.
The family would also love for you to share any pictures/photos you may have of Peter with them.
Wimbledon College Hospitalité are once again organising working and non-working trips to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes to run along side each other in August of 2025.
Please see the full article on the work they do and how you can get involved on the Hospitalité page.
