Anne & David would like to thank Fr Rory and all, for their kindness extended to us last week for our Wedding Anniversary.

We are never alone when present at Mass. We share it with those present and with all those who have preceded us. We also share it not only with those present with us but also with all who participate in Mass wherever they may be in the world. We most importantly share it intimately with Jesus. We are not alone at Mass, just look around you at those present with you. To help us God feed us with himself in Holy Communion to strengthen us in our endeavours for our journey. Just as Jesus had faith in the Father we too are to have faith in our God who has promised us through the centuries that he will not leave us alone. He will always be with us as we walk our own journey of faith knowing with certainty that our God is with us. We know that Jesus has shown us the way. We know that He is the way the truth and the life. With my love and an Easter Blessing for you all.

We have received several applications from Pilgrims who will require assistance to join this year’s Lourdes Pilgrimage, but at this point we are short of Helpers.   After two ‘grace years’ dictated by the pandemic we are conscious of people’s wellbeing, and we are having to look for more helpers than usual who are fit and well to support others. Subsidies are available for helpers to go towards them meeting the costs of the pilgrimage.   As we currently stand, we will have to turn down some pilgrims who require assistance, if we do not get a significant number of fit helpers applying in the next few weeks, so please do apply if you can spare the time to help those in need.  The Pilgrimage Office is happy to answer any questions anyone has prior to applying 01403 740110, [email protected]   Helpers Apply now lourdes.abdiocese.org.uk

will take place after Mass this Sunday (24th April) in St Wilfrid’s Church Hall.  All welcome.

David & Anne Hoad celebrate their 40th Wedding Anniversary on Sunday 1st May.  We would like to send them both good wishes and congratulations from all the parish community.
