The next practice for our music group will be on Saturday 26th April from 10am to 11am in St  Wilfrid’s Church Hall.  We are  looking for more instrumentalists and singers, only  enthusiasm needed.  All ages welcome.
 

Booking is now open, for more information go to thepilgrims.org.uk.  The pilgrimage is going all around the diocese and is from 9th – 24th August 2025.
 

As I am sure many of you are aware, Catholic Priests do not receive a salary and rely on your generosity at Christmas and Easter as a thank you for all they do for us. It is also possible to claim gift aid on your donation if you are a UK  taxpayer and that extra 25% will go directly to Father Rory. If you aren’t part of a planned giving scheme then please use the “one off” gift aid envelopes located in the porch. You can also contribute via the digital collection plate at St Wilfrid’s or via the donations website link  (https://donate.mydona.com/st-wilfrids-church-hailsham )  using the “Easter Collections” tab. 
 

Easter Cards are on sale at the back of St George’s Church .

If you would like to help with weeding the car park,   clearing away leaves and generally tidying the borders, do come and join us for a couple of hours.

If possible bring your own tools or borrow some on the day!  Thank you!

Sat 12th April 10am-2pm.

Please do come and help to garden, clean, tidy etc. There will be enough jobs for us all to have something to volunteer for on the day.  Many hands make light work – don’t assume others will do it.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Pilgrims of Hope day! Last Saturday, twenty-six of us gathered for a Jubilee-themed Adoration before enjoying a sunny Big Lent Walk along the Cuckoo Trail to St. George’s. Three members even completed the return journey. Together, we walked 187 km, just shy of our 200 km goal.

Our Parish Team is going strong, having walked over 540 km so far! If you haven’t sponsored them yet, your donations will keep them going. So far, we’ve raised £622 for CAFOD—thank you for your generosity! Your donations help to change lives and offer hope to those in urgent need. 

Special thanks to Mary Burbage, Sandra King, Shirley McCann, and Anne Hoad for the delicious lunch, and to James O’Brien, Gary Westcar  and Mary Burbage for leading Adoration and the Stations of the Cross.

It was a wonderful and successful day!
