The Bank Holiday at the end of May promises to be a grand sunny day – just like it was last year!

The anniversary of the Pope’s visit rushes nearer. The Pastoral Council at York have had the date in mind for some time and plan to mark the day suitably. A Mass of Thanksgiving, followed by a bring-your-own picnic lunch on the Knavesmire, is being organised for 12 noon on Monday, May 30th. Bishop Harris will be concelebrating the Mass.

100 Years Ago

(From “St Wilfrid’s Notes” in Hull Catholic Magazine)

May this year has proved memorable in the minds of many of our little ones, for its very first day was the chosen, and eagerly expected day of their first communion for eighteen tiny boys and girls from our infant school. Nevertheless, a few little ones were sadly disappointed, but as they cannot be got to Holy Mass, nothing can be done with them until their parents wake up and practice their religion.
