As we are now really close to the first practical steps   towards our new parish, Fr Kevin has invited us to an informal get together of Welcomers, Eucharistic   Ministers and Catechists so they can begin to look at how we can work together across the Hub, to exchange ideas and suggestions that you may have.  This will take place on Tuesday 10th December from 6.30pm to 8pm at OLR Parish Hall, refreshments will be offered.  Please let the parish office know if you are attending by Friday 29th November, and we will send a list to Eastbourne.

Teas/coffees and refreshments in our hall after  Sunday and weekday masses.  These are very important social times for getting to know your fellow members of our church and have a friendly get-together.  You will be pleasantly          surprised at what we learn and discuss.  Do pop in and join us.

Saturday Mornings at St Wilfrid’s Church:  Available for quiet prayer, so peaceful.  The Monstrance is exposed on the altar, confessions are available.  If you have not taken advantage of this special time, you should do so.  Just pop in for a little visit, you will come out rested and refreshed, ready to tackle the rest of the day.
