1. Wanda opened the meeting and welcomed those present.
2. A period of reflection on Luke 3: 1-6 then followed.
3. Parish Assembly:
Outputs from the Assembly had been prepared by Dympna McGee and this was reviewed.
Three items were considered to be of immediate priority:
maximising use of the new Hall facilities and co-ordination of activities
engaging the Youth in Parish ministries
fostering and developing Ecumenical links
4. Hall:
Arthur Bowyer and Cath Kelly who have volunteered to control bookings for the
Hall to be invited to attend the forthcoming meeting of representatives from
each parish committee/group/society. The aim of this meeting is to discuss how
best to co-ordinate all the different activities to avoid, where possible, any
overlap or clashes on dates etc., and to establish how groups can best communicate
their plans to each other and the Parish Development Team.
5. Youth:
Margaret Kelly to meet with Deacon Michael to discuss how best to engage more
of the Youth in Parish ministries. Following a recommendation from Dympna McGee
the discussion will also include the possibility of co-opting a second Youth
representative onto the Parish Development Team.
6. Ecumenism:
Kath Hallion and Fr Aidan represent the Parish at the meeting of the five Ansdell
Churches. It was agreed, as Fr Aidan was absent, to defer any further discussion
on Ecumenism until the next meeting.
7. Bulletin:
The Bulletin team are currently looking at the design of the bulletin sheet
and so far have developed a folded A4 presentation which is quite impressive
and appears to have a lot of potential. It is hoped to launch the new look bulletin
very shortly and any feedback will be welcome.
8. House Groups:
Fr Aidan and Deacon Michael will speak about House Groups at all Masses over
the weekend of 24/25 January, prospective hosts will also be available on leaving
Church to answer any questions and hand out leaflets. Further details will be
included in the Bulletin in the New Year.
9. Discernment of new chairperson:
Paul Kelly was discerned as the new chairperson and takes over from Wanda Kruzsynska
who is stepping down. Paul thanked Wanda for her chairmanship throughout the
inaugural year of the Parish Development Team.
10. Date of Next Meeting:
Thursday 15 January at 8:00pm
11. The meeting closed at 9:45 with a prayer.
