St Wilfrid’s
It was lovely to see our Altar Servers receive their certificates last Sunday having witnessed them receiving Bronze and 1 Silver Medal for 10 years of altar serving. How blessed we are in having so many good servers on a Sunday, trained under the watchful eye of David Hoad. Also so many children going into the hall for their special service and activities, lets pray that they continue to practice their faith. Also children attending the lessons in preparation for their First Holy communion. Thank you to the ladies teaching them, they do a good job for us.
