Stella Maris

Stella Maris (formerly called Apostleship of the Sea) is seeking one volunteer from St Wilfrid’s Church please to help with Sea Sunday (which falls on 12/13 July this year) in this parish. (Thank you to Anne, who has kindly volunteered for St George’s).  This is the day when the Church comes together to pray for seafarers, fishers and their families, and takes a  second collection to support the work of Stella Maris. The volunteer will read out the appeal (which Stella Maris will provide) at the end of Masses that weekend. If you can kindly do this, please contact [email protected] or call 07887 893 763.  Related to that, all parishioners are warmly invited to an online webinar being run by Stella Maris on Thursday 19th June from 7:30pm to 9pm. You will hear about the work that Stella Maris has been doing with seafarers and fishers over the past year or so, including the use of the funds kindly donated on Sea Sunday last year.

St George’s Children’s Liturgy

St George’s Children’s Liturgy – Help Needed:

Children’s Liturgy has been a valued part of St George’s for years — even continuing remotely during COVID. Sadly, we now have just two leaders and one helper, and with frequent travel, we can’t cover every Sunday.

We need your help! If you can assist as a helper or leader, please speak to a member of the team. No    experience needed — training and support will be   provided. It’s a simple and rewarding way to support our young people in their faith.

CAFOD

We are joining with Missio, Aid to the Church in Need and Stella Maris in this Jubilee Year to pray the “Rosary of Hope” online on Tuesday 10 June at 7pm. You can register here to get the Zoom link.  All are welcome as we pray the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary together.

Pope Leo XIV said, “Our blessed mother Mary always wants to walk with us, be close to us, she always wants to help us with her intercession and her love.” He invited us to pray together, “for all of the Church, and for peace in the world.”
