Can’t walk? You’re very welcome to join us at the Priory.
Under-18s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Both our churches offer regular children’s liturgy during term time.

¨ Parents: please complete annual registration forms

¨ Children under 5 should be accompanied by a parent or carer.

¨ We need more helpers —volunteers who help escort the children safely to and from the hall and encourage them during the storytelling.

If you would like your child to be baptised, please contact Jackie on 01323 841504 or E: [email protected] who will send your details to Mary and Angie who will be facilitating the sessions.  We are looking at running 3 Sundays between mid October and November.  Sessions are 1 hour and are held in St Wilfrid’s Church after the 10.30 mass. Your child may then be baptised at either St Wilfrid’s or St George’s

All the parishioners from St Wilfrid’s and St George’s would like to wish Fr Rory a very happy 77th Birthday.
 

A reminder that during September and October we are asked to provide details to the diocese of mass attendance in our churches.  Welcomers please ask that someone does this count weekly.
