Service prior to Midnight Mass .
A discussion took place as to whether this should continue as in the past, with
readings and advent carols, or whether we should have a carol service, which
had been requested by some of the congregation last year. It was agreed that
the group would take soundings from the parish and discuss at the next meeting.
AOB.
Fr Harry asked that items involving him be put at the start of the agenda, as
he can give 30mins to the meeting in view of the other pressures on his time.
This was agreed.
Organist for Sunday Mass .C. Kelly had suggested we approach Mr Cassidy, who was present at last Saturday's organ recital, who had expressed a willingness to play for some of the parish services. A. Cawthorn reminded the group that Peter Kay could be approached for special services and feast days. P. Crean will make more enquiries.
E. Kelly informed the group that she has organised a Day of Reflection at Tabor , to consider the mission statement of St. Peter's school .
