St Wilfrid’s: What a lovely Homily Mass it was at 5.30pm on Christmas Eve. Thank you Fr Rory. Children are the future of our church and my were they in abundance at the Nativity. Thank you to Annette and Teresa for organising such a lovely moving ceremony. Thank you also to Sophie, whom they all love, and Emily who had only set foot in England from her home in France that very morning. She played the organ & violin for “Away in a Manger” for the children. Is anyone talented to play an instrument for us? Do let us know, as Emily returns home on Friday 3rd January. Back here for Easter, please God.

St Wilfrid’s Christmas Social Gatherings: Both parties for young and not so young were well attended and a jolly good time was had by all. Why not join us next time we have a social gathering, you are most welcome. The Christmas Raffle made £102. Thank you to all who bought tickets and gave prizes. The money has been given to Annette to cover some of the cost of dressing up clothes and props etc. for the very successful Children’s Liturgy Group.
