St Wilfrid’s Harvest Festival
St Wilfrid’s Harvest Festival: The theme this year was the “Destruction of our Planet by Us”. Our usual magnificent display around the altar spread even further to include a “Bee Keepers Outfit”, advertising the fact that our Bee Keeper – Peter, would be in the hall to demonstrate how important the Bees are to our planet. Fr Kieran thought this was an excellent idea, and joined us in the hall after Mass. The children aided by Jerry, sold the fresh fruit and veg outside the church. The total amount raised was £110.46 which included a donation from one of the housebound and the Oct takings from the sales table. This will go to CAFOD to purchase a gift to help our friends in the 3rd World Countries. Well done and a big thank you to everyone who helped and contributed to this event.
