Parish Assembly: Stage Four – Volunteers Meet Together
You may be aware that earlier in the year, through the process of the Parish Assembly, the Parish Council identified four areas we need to address: Youth, Sunday Mass Experience (Liturgy)
Faith Formation and forming a new Parish Pastoral Council.
We are happy to announce the next phase of the Parish Assembly Process. All who expressed an interest in being involved are invited to a meeting to progress this initiative in a practical way.
The meeting takes place on Saturday 23rd November in St. Mary’s Parish Hall from 10.45 am to 12.45 pm. (2 hrs max.)
We are very fortunate that Sr. Ann Codd, a Presentation Sister on the Provincial Leadership Team, with experience of working with Parish Councils, is available that morning to guide the process forward.
The Parish Team thought this event would be a good opportunity to also invite others in St. Mary’s who are involved in the many ways in the parish.
A Personal Invitation for YOU
If you are even a little interested in this venture, wonder what is involved, or how you might help, please feel free to come along on the 23rd, to listen, to learn and perhaps to be energised by the enthusiasm that has already been generated. If you wish to participate in this meeting, please call the Parish Office and let Deirdre have your contact details, including preferably your email address.
Parish Office, 6217041 (Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri: 9.30-2.00pm) or email: secretary@lucanparish.com
Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us all in this important venture.
