St Wilfrid’s First Holy Communion Day
St Wilfrid’s First Holy Communion Day: Our church certainly had “the wow” factor as we entered. All the balloons, streamers etc., so tastefully arranged by Annette, Sophie and Teresa (our teachers and instructors for the First Holy Communion Children). Flowers were beautifully arranged on the special pedestals, under the Altar and on the window sills by Maeve, Loretta and Leslie. All paid for from the donations from our table sales over a period of weeks. Our four candidates, William, Freddie, Kiera and Carlos enjoyed their special ceremony with the help of Fr Kieran and their instructors.
This Sunday after Mass is their Communion Breakfast in the Hall. We are all invited to celebrate with them, so do please come and enjoy the food and company. In true St Wilfrid’s custom we have three Birthdays to celebrate on the same day. One 70 year old, one 13 year old and a popular older gentleman! Plenty of cakes etc.
Wanted – games/books for the care home
Wanted: If anyone has any unwanted magazines/board games or anything suitable for Seniors to use in the Care Home I work at, please save for me. It will be much appreciated. Many thanks, Julie x
