THE FEAST OF SAINT FRANCIS AT CHILWORTH

The St Francis Day celebrations at Chilworth were captured by the camera.  Bishop Kieran Conry, the Bishop of Arundel and Brighton, celebrated the Mass with us both at the Saturday evening Vigil and on the Sunday. 

On Sunday afternoon the weather was good enough to have the annual blessing of the animals outside. There were no horses this year but we had dogs, cats, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits and ferrets!
