Following news of the death of the four teenage boys in North Wales, the Bishop of Bangor and Archbishop of Wales Andrew John has issued the following statement:
“On behalf of the diocese of Bangor, I wish to express my deep sadness at the tragic death of the four teenage boys found dead in their car in North Wales. It is heart-breaking that the lives of these four young boys have been so tragically cut short.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of Jevon, Harvey, Wilf and Hugo.”
The Reverend Kim Williams, ministers in the area where the bodies were found, posted this tribute on Facebook, “Tonight we are praying for the families and friends of four young people who have tragically lost their lives. We pray for Jevon, Harvey, Wilf and Hugo, who’s adventure in this life ended far too soon, may they rest in peace.
“We also pray for our local emergency services, the police, ambulance, fire service and search and rescue who had been searching for the boys.”
Churches in the local area are open for quiet reflection and prayer, including St Mary’s Church, Beddgelert, St Cyngar’s Church, Borth y Gest and St Catherine’s Church, Cricieth.
All are welcome to light a candle for Hugo, Harvey, Wilf and Jevon, and pray for their families, friends and all who will miss them.
