Additional Info:Over 300 people attended the Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of 16 year old Liam. He had received the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation at St. Peter's so it was truly fitting that his Requiem Mass took place there as well.
Liam was a drummer in the Uist Pipe Band, and a member of the Children’s Parliament. He had recently taken up his father’s trade as a fisherman before he passed away.
May he rest in peace.
"St. Peter's was full to overflowing on Friday afternoon for the Funeral Mass of Liam Aitchison whose life was so mercilessly cut short five weeks ago. Many of Liam's school friends and contemporaries joined with the wider communities of Uist and Eriskay in being present at Liam's Funeral Mass. We pray for his eternal peace, and continue to keep his family in our prayers as they come to terms with the loss of Liam in such a violent manner." (Written by Fr. Donald MacKay in the St. Peter's Parish Newsletter dated 1 January 2012)
