Sat 18th Nov PM (time TBC) St W’s Hall – Preparing for Advent Workshop and Service – more details to follow

Your parish and the deanery urgently need parishioners to help run a short Marriage Preparation Course for engaged couples. The course is one designed by the diocese that couples preparing to marry have to attend as a condition   prior to marriage and all materials are provided.

It is run over four 2 hour sessions on the dates and times that you would choose. You can be couples or individuals to run the course and all training would be given. It is an enjoyable course and one where you, with your experience of marriage, have a great deal to offer the couples looking to spend the rest of their lives together.

The Parish of St George & St Wilfrid invites all year 9 – 13 young people who live and worship within our Deanery to consider joining its programme Faith & Fellowship with a view to prepare themselves for the Sacrament of Confirmation.  An introductory meeting for parents/carers and young people about the formation programme will be held on Sunday October 15th at 4pm St George’s Church Hall, 110 Eastbourne Road Polegate BN26 5DF.  Please email s[email protected] for an application form or call 07791 627368 if you would like further information.

Today we are hopeful that you walked into church to find that many of our weeds and  shabby looking areas around our grounds have been cleared.  If you didn’t perhaps we didn’t get enough support yesterday.  We are thankful to those who were able to join us. Our grounds need clearing    regularly and our church and hall also need some    tlc once in a while. If you see something that needs doing and can help, please consider spending just half and hour or so once in a while on a task – work with someone else and make it fun.

Last week’s Parish Charity Breakfast marked a year of breakfasts and raised a record total of £224 for Love In A Box. There was an excited buzz around us with what we think was our busiest breakfast so far, our thanks to everyone who helps and supports and donates even if not there on the day.  Since September 2022 we have held 11 breakfasts and with these and half the table sale fundraising we have raised over £1500 for our worthy causes.  The Sunday 29th October Breakfast will support CAFOD and 26th November the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal (these charities will remain annually).  We are seeking suggestions of other local/Catholic charities, please just let us know who you might like us to support.   

Pact, the Prison Advice and Care Trust, supports prisoners, people with convictions, and their children and families to live lives that bear good fruit.  Your donations enable us to deliver our services in courts, in prisons, and in       communities across England and Wales.   www.prisonadvice.org.uk
