GCSE and A Level Exams began last week so we ask God’s blessing on the students taking their exams and their families and teachers.  
 

Our Children’s First Holy Communion Breakfast:  As is the custom at St Wilfrid’s, the children have their First Holy Communion Breakfast the Sunday following their First Holy Communion Day.  We had 10 candidates this year so the table headed by Fr Rory was large. Specialities made by Annette and Sophie; large 3 tier cake, red jellies with a white marshmallow for the host, fairy cakes with a gold cross, then Teresa provided “healthy options”.  The buffet table was laden with food, just as well because so many parishioners came in after Mass, lovely to see new faces.

Have you lost your Rosary beads at St George’s? One found in the car park two Sunday’s ago and another in a case left in the pew last Sunday. All safely in the church for collection if they belong to you.
 

What a lovely Sunday we had at St George’s.   A Mass especially for Deacon John in thanksgiving on his 90th birthday. The beautifully prepared crown made by our Children’s Liturgy Group to crown Our Lady in the garden after Mass followed by a sumptuous breakfast in the hall, delicious birthday cake; all washed down with a toast of Prosecco (non alcoholic available too)! Thank you to the “cooks and bottlewashers” for your hard work and to everyone who showed their appreciation of John, Tessa and their family on his special day.

One day only.  Saturday 7th June from 10am until 3.30pm. St George’s Church Hall.
