Dear Parishioners,
I am on holiday in Spain, but I will be back midweek
Last week we celebrated the beginning of the Church. The Church’s mission and purpose is of course to help souls find and reach God, but because God offers to share his life in and through the Church, our mission does involve drawing people into membership of the church and supporting them. All of us need support in many areas. This includes a personal need to belong. Social events that build up our community thus become important and significant. They can be a lot of fun too! The celebration of mass will always be the source and summit of our activity but other elements of church life are not just add-ons. By coming together and participating in different areas of church life we do offer support to fellow travellers in ways that we may not even notice.
Next week we have our Annual General Meeting of the parish. The various committees (listed in the foyer above their own section of the notice boards) will be reporting on what they have been doing in this past year and hoping that you will help shape their plans for the year ahead.
God Bless, Fr Doug

We do need everyone to chip in a little help though. Volunteers needed for:
Sharing salads and sweets, setting up, clearing up, supervising the children’s activities etc.

AGM 2024
Our parish annual general meeting will be next Sunday, June 2nd at 12.00 in the Hall. Please make space in your diary for this event. It is a good thing to take an interest in the affairs of our church and indeed to support the leadership teams with your considered scrutiny.
