CAKE SALE – Thank you very much for all who
donated so generously to the Cake Sale. A total of
£82.10 was made for the Parish; BUT, MOST
DISTRESSINGLY whilst Sylvia and John were busy
selling the cakes, envelopes containing £30+
(collected for the Raffle) and £20+ (repository money)
went missing! So very sad when everyone works so
hard to raise funds for the Parish.
SECURITY REVIEW. We are reviewing the security of
our church and presbytery. Since installation of the
CCTV, we regularly opened the church. There were 4
times we caught strangers helping themselves with
small coins and the food at the porch. We may need
to close the church again after services.
CHURCH PARKING REVIEW. There has been
complaints from parents after fetching school children
at the front of the church. There were reports of
health and safety issues of cars coming in and out of
the small gate where it is difficult to see children
coming from the rear. We may need to close the gates
again when there are no church activities.
GARAGE SALE-In St Patrick’s Hall 21st February 2015
1.00 pm-4.00 pm. Admission 20p. There will be a

EVANGELISATION STRATEGY TEAMS: As you know,
the Church in our time is calling us to the work of new
evangelisation. We are Christ’s missionary disciples,
and He has given us many charisms and talents for
this work. Now we want to set up in every Pastoral
Area an Evangelisation Strategy Team, comprised of
clergy and laity, to direct the work of mission at the
local, parish level. How will this happen in our Pastoral
Area? 1. In the next couple of weeks leaflets will be
available for parishioners to increase awareness of
this project. 2. Sometime in February, there will be a
Holy Hour to pray for this initiative. 3. If you feel God
may be calling you to join your Pastoral Area's team,
please approach your Parish Priest or Co-ordinating
Pastor. 4. During Lent, the Co-ordinating Pastor will
meet with potential team members. The Strategy
Team is a new body to replace the Pastoral Council. It
should represent all ages and types. It’s all about
vision! Its purpose is to sponsor mission-projects
across the area. Teams will meet once a term. Take
home a leaflet to learn more
