PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL
The Parish council aims to look at the needs of the Parish and community. It invites suggestions and comments from parishioners to enable a wider view to be gained of what is needed.
The council considers and discusses all aspects of pastoral life of the parish life. Discussions are held with other organisations in the Church. The important element is the Pastoral aspect. We have three targets:
Strengthening the faith of those who come here to worship
Reaching out to the thousands of lapsed Catholics in our parish boundary
Converting all non-Catholics who live in our parish, and bringing them the joy of the fullness of the Truth.
If you are want to find out more, contact John Scanlon, or Deacons Peter or Michael.
FINANCE COMMITTEE
The finance committee is required by Canon Law in each parish to help the Parish Priest to administer the goods of the parish.
The committee meets approximately every two months to review the income and expenditure of the parish from the reports produced by the Parish Treasurer and his assistant. The committee is also responsible for production of the parish budget.
The Trustees of the Diocese must approve any planned expenditure by the parish over £5000 (excluding VAT).
Members of the Finance Committee are normally invited to join because of their financial or other relevant experience. Current Members are:
Deacon Peter Hinchey, Deacon Michael Belt, Peter Harrison, Michael Norris, Marek Kowalewski, Rosemary Stephens and Bernadette Thomson.
For further information contact Deacon Peter.
PARISH DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
The committee exists to arrange events of a social nature in order to raise funds for Parish Development. We organise Theatre Trips, the `Getting to Know You Meal`, the Christmas Bazaar, and the Annual Draw.
You can help by volunteering to arrange and run stalls at the bazaar, or by helping with setting-up or clearing-up. Or you can join us to help organise and promote events.
We meet as and when necessary. The Bazaar meetings are in January (to review the last Bazaar) and then in Sept., Oct., and Nov. to prepare for the Bazaar. To find out more, contact Deacon Peter.
