St Wilfrid’s Sales Table:  We have been given a beautiful dresser to display our goods for sale.   We have a Christmas theme already overflowing with Fr Christmases and snowmen etc. Many of these were sold to parishioners after the 3pm Mass last Sunday, they did appreciate the chance to join in the fun.

St Wilfrid’s Bereavement Mass last Sunday at 3pm:  This was very well attended.  Lovely to see some of our housebound parishioners being brought to the service, and after tea and cakes in the hall, where they could chat to friends they hadn’t seen for some time.  We would like this beautiful service more often.  It was lovely to meet up with our friends from St George’s who attended and enjoyed the service so much with us.

St Wilfrid’s – Money Collected from Children’s Sale and Harvest Products:  The final amount collected for Gifts to our Friends in the Third World Countries amounted to £115. This will be distributed to several poor communities in the form of helpful gifts, to enable them to be a little self sufficient, through representatives from CAFOD.  There is a notice in the church porch showing the Countries and gifts who will benefit, please take a few minutes after Mass to read this.  Much work has been going on behind the scenes and we and the children are very proud of all efforts.  Thank you.
