1:Edwina opened the meeting and welcomed everyone. Team members were introduced to Liz and Stephen.

2;Ann led the opening prayer and reflection.

3:Liz and Stephen outlined the purpose of the Review Team and the expected outcome of their meetings with different parish groups. There followed a wide-ranging discussion on the ways in which the parish could be developed and administered. Team members were asked to consider how the basic tasks of running the parish could be addressed and whether the best way would be to form an executive team to serve the P.D.T or simply to allocate to individuals certain responsibilities and to co-opt them on to P.D.T when appropriate. Members would continue to consider these issues at the next meeting.

4:Matters arising:

a) Memorial Stone.Kath was asked to proceed with getting estimates.

b) ‘’Buddy’’ list review. In preparation for the skills audit members were asked to take on the ‘’buddies’’ of those members who had resigned the P.D.T.

c) Skills Audit. The homily had been prepared and leaflets for parishioners are nearing completion.

d) Diaconate. An invitation to Chris Barwise had been accepted. He will speak about the diaconate at all Masses on the weekend 25/26th June. Team members were asked to think of possible candidates.

e) Liaison person with ‘’The Voce’’ still required. This item deferred to next meeting.

f) Fr Harry asked for the arrangements for Fr Joe’s jubilee to be on the agenda of the next meeting.

5: the meeting ended with the closing prayer at 9.45pm

Date of next meeting: Tuesday April 5th at 8.00pm.
