We are a group of dedicated parishioners who meet several times a year to discuss parish matters. We represent all three churches. We have many new members and we feel we are making good decisions.
We have organised welcomers at Christmas time and at Easter – if you would like to help with this please inform one of the PPC (N.B. PPC members are listed in the minutes below).
We have raised money for the parish through dances, barbeques, quizzes and many more social events.
With the help of Philippe we have set up our parish website which we intend to update regularly.
A parishioner has donated toys for the children at 9.45 Mass on Sundays and you will find these at both porches.
Another member of the PPC has set up a children’s choir (see above) for the 9.45 Mass and has also organised youth Masses and other events for the youth in our parish.
We are open to ideas from parishioners about fundraising and any parish activity and we welcome your suggestions.
We are working closely with the steering group for Walking Humbly and look forward to working with their ideas and decisions.
Our work in the PPC is to try and alleviate some of the every day tasks from Father Andy.
Maureen Waters, former PPC member
