As a parish we have many to thank, today we focus on St Wilfrid’s:
Christmas is a time for “thanking” the people that have so willingly given their time and effort to make our parish community flourish as good as it is. Here are a few of those people we give a “Big Thank You” to. All our well behaved Altar Servers under the training of David, Teresa, Annette, Sophie & Angie who train our young children in the Liturgy and First Holy Communion. Gary for recording the Mass on-line and screen hymns etc. Alan for reading notices, all our competent readers, children and grown ups. Gerry for planned giving etc. Bob for keeping us in order and up-to-date with health & safety. John & Rowena; collection plate and counting Sunday collections. The people who prepare & serve tea/coffee after Sunday & Wednesday Masses, Annette & Joan for the over 50’s Club, Lulu for tidying up after functions in the hall. All those people could do with some help, please bear this in mind for your New Years Resolutions, contact the people involved. I know we have omitted to mention other kind people who help us run our parish community, they know who they are, so please accept our sincere THANKS to you all. Can you help us in anyway? Some of us are well into retirement age and cannot continue to give the service needed, please think hard and help us. You can contact Annette 07896825180 or Joan 07873390944. “God loves a Cheerful Giver”, and the reward is plentiful to those who give their time and effort to help our successful parish community.
Two V.I.P. People who need a special “Thank You” are of course Fr Rory; who is very humble, but a great priest to us all, faults and all Father we love you. Then of course Jackie our Secretary and general dogsbody! She keeps us all going with her pleasant nature and cool calm efficiency, where would we be without her help? She also sorts Father out on many occasion. Thank You Jackie. More thanks to follow ………
