Children's Liturgy
CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD
Sunday 9.45 Mass
Children aged 5 till the time they make their First Holy Communion are
welcome to our special Liturgy of the Word at the 9.45am Sunday Mass
during term time. Many thanks to all the catechists. But we do need more helpers urgently!
Children's Choir
We
have have started a choir for the 9.45 Mass every other Sunday along
with the folk group at the church. Those who can play a musical
instrument are also welcome to join.
We know that there is a huge amount of talent within our parish, so do not be shy come along and bring your friends. Please note that there is choir practice for half an hour before the start of Mass.
Altar Servers
NEW SERVERS WELCOME
If you could help serving at Mass please give your narnes to Fr. Michael. We are planning some training sessions in the Spring. Many thanks to the new servers who have joined this year.
The PPC
The PPC Introduced to the Parish, July 2008
The Parish Pastoral Council
We are a group of dedicated parishioners who meet once a month 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.
We have raised money for the parish through dances, barbeques, quizzes and many more social events.
With the help of Philippe Kirk 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 Michael.
