A Special Day for St Wilfrid’s in this Jubilee Year
We are deeply honoured that St Wilfrid’s has been chosen as the only parish in East Sussex to host a reliquary from Carfin Grotto, Scotland, as part of the National Relic Tour organised by the Knights of St Columba.
The reliquary contains sacred relics of three beloved saints:
St Andrew – Apostle, Patron of Scotland, and also Patron of Ropemakers (fittingly, as Hailsham has a strong historical link with rope-making), St Columba of Iona, St Margaret of Scotland
The relics will be available for veneration at St Wilfrid’s Church on Wednesday 27th August, following 10am Mass, and throughout the day until an Evening Mass at 7pm with refreshments in the hall from 10.40am to 5.30pm.
Family Friendly activities including storytelling, games and crafts will be available in the church garden between 4.00pm and 5.30pm. For the full itinerary please pick up an event programme from the church porch. All welcome – come and share in this rare and holy occasion!
