Nine Lessons & Carols

Sat 16th Dec, 3pm at St Wilfrid’s.  Please fill the church, raise the roof in song and pray with us in the season of Advent.  And don’t forget to invite friends and family, this service is a perfect way to bring those who don’t attend our weekly mass through our doors. Next year this Parish service will be at St George’s Church.  Mulled wine & mince pies in the hall afterwards.  We shall have a “surprise bag” table, a prize every time for just £1.    There is a box in the porch to receive any gifts you may like to contribute please.  Thank you.

Parish Reconciliation Service

Sat 2nd Dec, 5pm at St Wilfrid’s Church. Please come to this very moving service lasting just half an hour.  In previous years this service has been very poorly attended.  Our first communion children will be making their first confession and it would be nice for us to support them.  By coming and participating in this service you will be fulfilling your Christmas duty.  All welcome.

Fr Rory Writes

We celebrate the Great Feast of Christ the King, which celebrates the end of our churches year, with the assurance that Christ will come again in great glory. 

The introduction to my sister Mary’s book “Love Speaks”:  Love Speaks is a timely book, appearing at a time when all God’s people are asked to embark on a spiritual journey marked by two important elements:  listening and sharing.  This journey is the synodal path that Pope Francis has proposed for our times so that the Church can listen profoundly to what the Holy Spirit is saying to us.  Please God, we will make this journey together in the coming years.

Nine Lessons & Carols

On Saturday, 16th December at 3.00 pm there will be a parish Nine Lessons and Carols at St Wilfrid’s, with refreshments afterwards. We would love singers from both churches to come along to a rehearsal on Tuesday 21st November, 7.00 pm at St Wilfrid’s Church.
