National Church Life Survey

During February parishioners were invited to complete a Survey. The purpose was to assist with future planning by finding out what parishioners experience & feel about our Parish. The results have been returned. Members of the Pastoral Leadership Team will speak at all Masses next weekend (1st/2nd June) to share with parishioners the results of the Survey. Ecology & Sustainability: Care for our environment is a form of prayer - it reflects our attitude to Gods creation. Our Parish is looking at identifying areas where we fall down on environmental issues and how we can become more environmentally consci ous. We are looking for people with interest and expertise to join a small group that will help us with the above. Please contact Mary (5562 2464) Weekday Masses: As a trial for 3 months, supported by the Parish Pastoral Team & the Liturgy Committee, we will celebrate a monthly Mass on a Thursday evening at 5.45pm (20th June, 18th July and 15th August). Meeting: Tuesday: Maintenance Committee at 7.30pm Wednesday: Finance Committee at 12noon
