A Big Thank You to Lulu for providing us with such beautiful arrangements in pots outside St Wilfrid’s Church and Hall.  Many people on their way up to town have  remarked on them.
 

October has long been dedicated to the Holy Rosary, a prayer which draws us into the life of Christ through the eyes of His Blessed Mother. The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated on 7th October, recalling the Church’s gratitude for Mary’s powerful intercession throughout history.

During this month, we are especially encouraged to take up the Rosary—whether individually, as a family, or in community—entrusting our joys, struggles, and intentions to Our Lady, who always leads us to her Son.

Let us make a special effort this October, to pray the Rosary more often, asking Our Lady of the Rosary to strengthen our faith, bring peace to our world, and draw us closer to Christ.  Please join us before weekday masses to recite the Rosary.

Please don’t forget we have tea/coffee/cake available in the hall after Sunday and weekday masses.  Get to know your fellow parishioners and have a chat over tea.  We have noticed several new faces in our congregation, so please come and get to know us.
 

Recently several children visited France in an exchange with their French pals.  It was very successful all-round.  The French children have exchanged over here for the last 3 years under the supervision of Emily, Annette’s daughter, who lives and teaches in France.  It was so successful that the exchange visit will be an annual event.  Well done all.
 

A beautiful array of produce was displayed around the altar with a  special theme of “Water”, and how we cannot live without it. All the items were carried after mass by our children with the help of some grown ups to the tables outside and sold.  This was a huge success and all proceeds went to CAFOD.
