In overviewing the parish there is a need to develop a parish structure so groups can work together and support each other. Consequently I ask that you consider joining one of the following: Pastoral group (to identify and respond to needs within the parish and beyond) Hospitality and welcoming group Parish celebration and events group (this group will need a co-ordinator) Finance (any applicant will need experience in business, legal or financial matters) Counters of the Sunday collections—(these groups will need a co-ordinator) Lectors (Ministry of the Word) Communion ministers (special ministers of the Eucharist) Communion Service Minister (liturgy of the Word with Eucharist but no Mass) Visitation to sick and elderly Emergency assistance as required e.g. drivers, sitters, etc. Liturgy group (to prepare weekend Masses) Adult Formation, Education and Spiritualty group Gardening group Flowers and cleaning of altar linen In the future we will be establishing a ‘Parish Co-ordinating Group’ to overview the parish as a whole and to render assistance as necessary to any and all groups. These persons will offer totally independent advice/assistance.
