Charity Breakfast:  Today, Sunday 28th May 10am after mass. Charity for May is Kipling Children’s Ward. They are raising money for the  Children’s communal courtyards so our fundraising will be used for purchasing plants/garden features. All Welcome.

Please remember in your prayers: all our students who are   taking exams during the coming weeks; and our confirmation candidates who will receive the Sacrament of confirmation on Sunday 18th June at 3pm in Arundel Cathedral.  

We had 4 children making their 1st Holy Communion this year.  The whole parish was invited to join them in St Wilfrid’s Hall.   The tables were set out beautifully, the food was very special and the hand decorated cake was large enough for us all to have a piece.  Thank you once again to all helpers making this a very special occasion, especially Angie, who was left out when thanking the other first communion helpers.

We welcome Lulu back, she was greatly missed for her part in clearing away after an event and of course looking after our beautiful plants around the church.  Many of us have been off sick after accidents etc. so we welcome them all back due to many prayers

Thank you to Teresa, Annette & Sophie for arranging our Parish First Holy Communion last Sunday.   Everything was just perfect, the church was packed, sun shining, and the children all enjoyed the service. Don’t forget you are all invited to our First Communion Breakfast in St Wilfrid’s hall today after Mass.

Next afternoon tea will be Thurs 25th May, 2-4pm, St W’s Hall.  £5. Unfortunately we cancelled the trip to Headcorn, due to lack of interest.  We are now arranging a trip to Staverton Nursery, now re-open after the fire.  Either Mon 19th or 26th June, dates to be confirmed If interested please contact Joan on 07873390944.

Urgent – more parishioners from both St George’s and St Wilfrid’s are needed to join our social committee and even more importantly help the team for future events.  If you can’t attend the meeting or be part of the committee but can offer your help for events, speak to Jean at St Wilfrid’s or Sandra at St George’s after mass or email the parish office with your name and contact details to pass on to the committee.
