The Parish Pastoral Council held it’s final Zoom Meeting of the year on the 3rd December. We began as usual with an opening prayer.
We reviewed in detail the arrangements for Christmas Masses.
We then reviewed our financial position and it remains a concern, obviously our offertory collection is still below pre-lockdown levels. Thank you to everyone who has taken out standing orders during lockdown. This really is the best way to support the parish. If you would like to start a standing order please contact Peter McFall on coulsdontreasurer@rcaos.org.uk Do not forget you can donate via JustGiving at any time, visit the website and click on the JustGiving icon on the home page.

Fr Peter brought the meeting to a close with a final prayer with special mention of those people suffering from, or being affected by, the Coronavirus in any way.

We would be pleased to hear from members of the parish on any subject. Please speak to any member of the Council, drop a letter into the sacristy or contact Gerry via odonnellgerry@outlook.com.

The PPC members are, Fr. Peter, Sue Carr, Pauline D’Mello-Maplesden, Brenda Eydman, Roque Fernandes, Bernadette Hallett, Bridget Hanlon, Penne Hutton, Peter McFall, Erica Thurbon, Gerry O’Donnell, Elsie Ofili and Colin Wilding.
