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 proceeds of our fasting/sacrifice for July amounted to £90.50. 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. HOLIDAY TIME: I am indebted to Fr John Murphy who will be 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 10.00am on Saturdays at St Margaret's Shrine.
