The Relics of St Bernadette will soon arrive in England for the very first time. They will be at Arundel Cathedral from 9am on Saturday 22 October until 2pm on Sunday 23rd when they travel to Worth Abbey and remain there until 6pm on Monday 24 October. To ensure the comfort and safety of pilgrims, visitors are asked to register their attendance, online, choosing a dedicated timeslot for either the  Cathedral or Abbey, at https://stbernadette.org.uk/registration/  For those people who do not wish to travel by car, the Knights of           St Columba are booking a coach to visit Worth Abbey on Monday 24 October, arriving for the 1pm booked slot.

Centenary Celebrations

The catering team would like to thank everyone for their generous donations towards the centenary celebrations, which enabled us to provide an abundant variety of food and drink.  We have received a lot of feedback, which enables us to review and improve food choices for future events.

Many thanks to those who were involved in the planning, sourcing shopping, preparing and distributing food and also cleaning and decorating the hall inside and out.  About a dozen people were involved and worked tirelessly to achieve the outcome.   So, thank you to all those who chopped, cut, filled food and wielded cocktail sticks all day long; washing up seemingly forever in the recesses of the  kitchen; collected the sandwich order from Eastbourne; stored the food in various fridges throughout the parish to ensure a safely prepared and attractive display.

Finally, for all of you who appreciated the efforts, may we ask you to consider the following:

We desperately need fresh pairs of younger legs to assist us on any event day, as a number of the team find that their legs and feet throb unmercifully after the day’s event!  So, please, if you can possibly help us out next time, put yourself forward now, to find out what it all involves.  You will be strengthening our parish community and saving overtired legs.

Thank you for your kind response.

Thank You

St George’s parishioners would like to thank St Wilfrid’s parishioners for such a wonderful time spent celebrating the Centenary Celebrations with them.  A lovely time was had by all.
