Hailsham and Polegate is a very special community, one of which you all, with Fr Rory have built up over the years, your faith, love of the Lord and your care for each other shines out in so many ways. Thank you all, very much for your friendship and prayers.

Parish Afternoon Tea:
Parish Afternoon Tea Party in Celebration of Canon Paul Jennings Golden Jubilee at St. George’s:
We all had a marvellous celebration with Fr. Paul Jennings, in honour of his Golden Jubilee on 12 July at St. George’s.
Thank you so much to our wonderful friends and fellow parishioners from St. Wilfrid’s and St. George’s, who did so much on the day, to make this a really special event. Marylou played beautifully throughout the celebration,
Lesley Crowe provided the most delicious cake for the occasion and Mary O’Hanlon created a brilliant banner!
Everyone said how relaxed they felt, as we were all able to sit and enjoy the festivities, owing to all the preparation beforehand.
It is always good when we celebrate together, and create such a happy atmosphere! Thank you all.
