LENT FAST DAY - Your envelopes will be collected as you leave Mass today. RITE OF ELECTION Kirsty and Tina took another important step in their journey of faith last Sunday at the Cathedral. A number of parishioners representing St Wilfrid's community travelled with them. Please keep Kirsty and Tina and their families in your prayers during the Lenten period. FIRST COMMUNION PREPARATION Theme 'Sharing'. Every day brings us many opportunities to show our love by responding to the needs of others and by thanking others for their care and help. We celebrate the Sacrament of First Reconciliation this weekend and next for these children and their families. Please keep them in your prayers. MARRIAGE PREPARATION COURSES All who are planning their weddings to be celebrated at St Wilfrid's are invited to attend one of the courses at St Bede's Pastoral Centre. Saturdays 18 April, 1 July. 8 July and 11 November. Please contact Canon Michael for an application form. HOLY COMMUNION UNDER BOTH KINDS 'May I ask those parishes where Holy Communion under both kinds is still not the norm to reflect on that situation please. Holy Communion under both kinds is certainly the mind of the Church, and very much the desire of our own Bishops' Conference. The 'sign' valise of eating and drinking is more powerfully present when this is the case, in the General Instructions of the Roman Missal it clearly states (paras. 281 - 287) how Communion under both kinds should be distributed. The symbol of the Eucharistic Banquet is more complete when given under both kinds, since in that form, the sign of the sacrificial meal appears more clearly.' Bishop John TOWER REPAIRS Now that the scaffolding is up the stonemasons have discovered that there are further areas of stonework decaying. The cost of this extra work is £2,860 plus VAT which will be added to the original estimate £86,104 plus VAT. Any extra help through fundraising and gift aid donations would be much appreciated.
