Fr Rory Writes:

Looking forward to my next trip home.

With our activities for the year coming to an end, a certain “thanks be to God”.  This time last year our focus was on our preparations to celebrate our centenary year at St Wilfrid’s, which worked out very good.  Hard to credit that was a year ago.  Our focus this year is our parish council and the options and opportunities it presents.

Deacon John has been a constant source of help  and I am sure it will remain a great help.  He raised the question, while Fr Rory is away, who should write his piece?  he suggested that the parish council could do this, this time.  This is very much in keeping with the preparation of our prayers of the faithful, which provided us with a distinct blessing over the months and years.
