Requiem Mass for the late Clodagh Coleman who sadly passed away on the 29th April, will be held on Wednesday 25th May at St Wilfrid’s Church at 11am.  We ask you to respect Clodagh’s wishes not to wear black at her funeral. 

Do you like computers? Do you know how to update a website? The Parish could do with a bit of help and would be delighted if some clever people would offer their help on internet things. Please give your name to Fr Rory or send him an email. Thank you.

The minutes of the meeting of the Core Group are available on the notice board of each church.
The next meeting of the whole parish to discuss these suggestions will be  held in St Wilfrid’s Church on Tuesday 31 May. This day is the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and there will be Marian Devotions at 6pm. The meeting will be held immediately afterwards.

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.
