For our younger congregation, we encourage
the children to be involved in our children’s liturgy during the mass. We have a very diverse community at St Wilfrid’s with many nationalities: Polish, Romanian, Indian, African, Philipino…
Children of all ages are welcome. For those of the older children who have done their First Holy Communion and would like to take part in the mass, there are opportunities to help Fr Rory on the altar, by becoming altar servers. It does not matter if you are a boy or girl, 7 years old or above, everyone is welcome.
Harvest Mass and Sponsored Walk
A very big thank you to everyone who donated goods for the Harvest Festival Mass. Hailsham Foodbank were delighted to receive your much needed contributions.
Another thank you goes to the 32 walkers who accompanied Fr Rory on the sponsored walk. Upon arrival at St Wilfrid’s we were greeted by parishioners from both parishes and shared a lovely birthday tea with him. Big thanks go to all those who worked so hard to make this day a success. Fr Rory really enjoyed celebrating his 75th birthday with us. God bless him. All funds raised from the sale of fresh produce and the sponsored walk go towards CAFODS Harvest Appeal.
To date we have raised an amazing £1,250 but we hope to supplement this with the money raised for the Family Fast Day envelopes and St George’s charity breakfast on October 27th. Thank you again to everyone who has made a contribution – we are very proud of our generous community.
