The Parish Pastoral Council held its second meeting of 2023 on the 15th January.

The timeline for the PPC nominations for new members was agreed. We invite members of the Parish to consider serving on the PPC, a term is four years and meetings are held every three months. Speak to Fr Peter or any PPC member if you would like to learn more. Visit our webpage here If the number of nominations exceeds the number of vacancies an election will be held before the summer.

To follow up on our submission to the Synodal Process we reviewed the plans we have under the themes of the Elderly, Young Families and the Youth. Full details can be found in the minutes.

Preparations for the Fr Peter`s 40th Anniversary of Ordination – Ruby Jubilee on Sunday 16th April after the 11am Mass are well underway. Please lookout for more details in the Newsletter
