March 29th , after mass at St George’s when we will be supporting “Smile Train”.
 

We’re looking forward to holding a Spring Fair in St Wilfrid’s Hall on Saturday 28th March, from 10.00am to 2.00pm. There’ll be plenty to enjoy, including craft stalls, a tombola, and refreshments throughout the day.

We’d love a bit of help from parishioners to make the day really special—whether that’s lending a hand on the day, running a stall, or donating items for stalls or prizes. A list of suggested items to be donated will be handed out after mass next week. 

We’re also welcoming local makers, crafters, and small businesses who might like to take part. Independent stallholders can book a table for £10 per table.

If you’d like to help, book a stall, or just find out more, please get in touch at [email protected] . There will be a short meeting after the 10.30 mass next Sunday (8th March) for all those who wish to volunteer to help run the event. Thank you so much for your support – we hope you can be part of it!

Our weekly reflections continue on Wednesday mornings after the 10.00 mass in St Wilfrid’s. There are still opportunities to join us. It is not essential to have participated in previous sessions. For more information contact David Hoad or email [email protected]

Our Parish Pastoral Council recently met and acknowledged the importance of parishioners being able to contact the group to discuss areas of interest.  Consequently, we will be producing a poster to illustrate the Council members and their individual roles. It is anticipated that this may assist parishioners in identifying who best to approach for a specific issue that may need clarifying.
