St George’s Meeting Sunday, June 1st:  The second of St George’s quarterly church meetings will take place after Mass on Sunday, June 1st. Minutes from the previous meeting are available in the file at the back of the church. These meetings are an important opportunity for our community to share, reflect, and move forward together in prayer, formation, and mission. Tea and coffee will be served first.  
 

Deacon John and Tessa wish to say a real thank you to all who made my birthday so memorable. Thank you for the gifts, the cards and for being there. The singing of happy birthday twice, once in the church and once in the hall was particularly good! I am sure that all enjoyed the   catering for the party – sausage and bacon baps cooked by the excellent chef, the two cakes and everything else were superb. I particularly enjoyed the bacon and sausage bap – thankyou.  Love John and Tessa.

The South Downs Singers cancelled their Spring Concert last Saturday at St George’s in respect of the funeral of Pope Francis. It was very moving that non Catholics within this lovely choir were so vocal in saying respect must be shown to the Catholic community at St George’s and immediately contacted Fr Rory to express this. If you purchased a ticket, a refund will be given by the seller. We perform again at our Summer Concert on 26th July, Carter’s Corner Farm. If you prefer, your ticket from the Spring Concert can be used there.
 

Over 50’s Afternoon Tea:  Please make a note that our date for May will be Thurs 22nd May, 2-4pm and not 29th May.  Thank you.
