Parishioners at St Wilfrid’s

Parishioners at St Wilfrid’s have decided not to send each other Christmas cards this year but instead will donate the money to a local charity, “Warming Up The Homeless”. There will be a collection of these donations on Sunday 15th December toward their Golden Ticket Christmas Appeal, which asks for      donations of £10 to take a child living in temporary accommodation to a pantomime and to give them some festive treats.
