Please remember in your prayers:

Please remember Father Rory in your prayers. He wishes to thank Canon Paul and Deacon John for covering for him during his absence. The Parish Council will be meeting this week to formulate a plan to support and sustain our community of faith in the coming months. This will be shared with everyone soon afterwards.

Lenten Reflections:

We are pleased to offer a programme of Lenten Reflections at St Wilfrid’s, and everyone is warmly invited to take part. The first session will take place at 11.00am on Ash Wednesday, 18th February, and will last for approximately one hour.

To help ensure that sufficient resources are available for all who wish to take part, please register your interest by 10th February. For further information or to register, please speak to David Hoad or email [email protected]

Parish Social Events Questionnaire:

At the recent Social Committee meeting, it became clear that we are struggling both to generate ideas for events and to find volunteers to run them. We have therefore decided to issue a questionnaire to find out what types of events would be of interest to parishioners.  Forms will be available in the porch and the closing date for responses is 8 February.  Please take the time to complete one, as this will help us understand the types of events and activities you would like to see included in our programme for 2026.
