SWINE FLU: Bishop Terence has written with guidelines to help prevent the spread of this flu. As a temporary measure we are asked to take some recommended precautions within the Mass. Here at St Wilfrid's from today:

The Host to be received on the hand only.

Communion from the Chalice to cease for the time being.

This practice will remain in place until the danger has passed.

MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION: Until further notice only three Ministers (the first 3 on the rota) will be needed to distribute Holy Communion at our Sunday Masses.
