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 : - 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.
