Over 50’s Activities – St Wilfrid’s Hall:  Our next afternoon tea will be a special Jubilee Tea on Thursday 26th May, 2-4pm.  Please could we dress up for the occasion (wear something red, white or blue), £3 per person.  Everyone is welcome to join us.

Sunday 22nd May at the 10.30am Mass.  All welcome.  Followed by 1st Holy Communion Breakfast on Sunday 29th May in St Wilfrid’s Hall after Mass.  All invited.

Some of the suggestions made by parishioners during the recent SYNOD consultation relating to the prayer life of us all. Since 2012 the Diocese has been calling us to increase the longstanding Catholic tradition of pausing for prayer at 3pm on Fridays, the time that Jesus died on the Cross.
The Diocese say we would like to invite all Catholics to pause for a moment of prayer, praise and thanksgiving at 3pm (or at lunchtime if you prefer). You may wish to make up a prayer of your own or say “We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you, because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world”.  The exact words used are not as important as pausing to be with Jesus in that moment and deepening your relationship with Him.

If you would like to support us in collecting items for Ukraine, here are some of the items we are collecting:- Tinned food i.e. meat/fruit, good condition clothing, nappies, baby wipes, toiletries etc.  If you would like more information please speak to Loretta after Mass.  Thank you.
