MOVING IN – Fr. Michael I wish to extend a warm welcome, on behalf of the parish, to Father Michael Sellers. I’m sure his priesthood will benefit the parish and through his ministry he will help you to get to know Jesus in his own caring way. Please keep him in your prayers so that he will have a happy priesthood among you.

MOVING OUT – Fr. Pat Bidding farewell is not easy. It is something we never fully grow accustomed to doing. My earthly mission here in St. Hilda’s and English Martyrs is now over. I have been entrusted as a priest with the mission of making the love of God known in the parish. I have travelled with you for twelve years. I know that many of you are weakened by the trials, suffering and disappointments of life. I hope that I have in some small way helped to lighten the burdens that have come your way. God’s blessing always. Father Pat.
