CAFOD HARVEST FAST DAY - Friday 3 October. Envelopes are available today. Please share what you can and stand in solidarity with poor communities in the developing world. Pope John Paul II reminded us that we are all responsible for each other. 'Solidarity' he said, 'is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good'. Solidarity is not pity, it is action. Your envelopes will be collected in next weekend. SAM FOSTER, a parishioner of St Wilfrid's, is running in the Great North Run on 5 October and all sponsorship monies are going to CAFOD. Please sponsor him by signing the forms in the porch today. Thank you very much and good luck Sam.

Please let Canon Michael know if you wish to attend. FIRST COMMUNION PREPARATION: The second of our nine themes is 'Forgiving'. Each theme is centred on a specific action in family living, in the life of Jesus and in a particular part of the Mass. The action of 'Forgiving' is related in the story of Zacchaeus who was a tax collector. The Eucharist helps us to forgive and to seek forgiveness, and to grow in love with God and one another.
