GOSPEL CHALLENGE 10 - 12 October 2003. An invitation to all members of the parish who would like to come and reflect on the Gospel and its implications for us today. Closing date for applications, Sunday 7 September. Booking forms are available today from the porch. PARISH PROJECT The box for the proceeds of our fasting/sacrifice from last Friday is on the 'gifts' table as you come into Church and will be brought up in the procession of the gifts. Some months ago Archbishop Thomas of Guwahati, Assam, India visited our parish. He told us a little about his Diocese and its struggle to build much needed hospitals for the benefit of thousands of rural tribal people. After discussion at the Parish Forum it was decided that we at St Wilfrid's would take on a commitment to help with this worthy project. We take on fasting and praying on the first Friday of each month and bring the monies we save to Mass the following Sunday. MINISTERS OF THE WORD For the month of August our Wednesday meetings are discontinued. We begin again on the first Wednesday of September. Thanks to all the Readers who come to our weekly meetings to prepare for the proclamation of the Word. It is necessary that those who exercise the Ministry of Reader be truly qualified and carefully prepared so that the faithful may develop a warm and living love for the scriptures from listening to the Sacred Texts proclaimed. This preparation must above all be spiritual, but what maybe called a technical prep also needed. (Taken from the Lectionary for Mass: Introduction No. 55). MANY THANKS to the people who helped with the Refreshments last Saturday - £92 was raised towards Church Refurbishment. Another Refreshments Day will be held on Saturday 30 August from 10am. Could you please help by baking - cakes, buns, scones, sausage rolls etc? HOLIDAY TIME I am indebted to Fr John Murphy who will celebrating the Sunday Masses with you while I am on holiday and to the local priests who will be covering the 12.10pm Mass (Tuesdays to Fridays) and the 10am on Saturdays at the Shrine.
