PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL

In our last Newsletter I outlined my hopes for a new PPC of 12 parishioners, and asked for volunteers to nominate themselves. It did not go according to my hopes! However, I am grateful to those few who have responded and for the time being, they will form a Parish Advisory Group who will assist me in guiding the Parish.

PARISH FABRIC & FINANCE GROUP 

This continues to meet each month and the areas that it has recently dealt with are: Car Park,  Parish Accounts,  Surface Water Drainage,  Quotes for New heating system - Parish Hall,  Request for a new storage shed (pre-school club),  Re-Ordering of some aspects of the church, Summer Fair.

The last meeting considered the following: Break Fast after the Easter Vigil Mass; St. Georges Day Celebration to be held Sunday lunchtime - 26th April, with a limit of 50 tickets. Sunday 29th March CAFOD Cross Sunday 5th April CAFOD Cross. Saturday 11th April Breakfast with Fair Trade Stall & Charity Lenten Boxes. Tuesday 21st April Parish Lunch.
