Welcome to Mass Today

About 250 parishioners have returned the Social Centre survey forms.  The analysis of your responses has started, and will continue over the summer.

 

We are planning to have a Parish Forum meeting on Tuesday 22nd September at 8.00pm where the results of the survey will be discussed and at which we hope to agree what the next stage (if any) should be.  Please write the date in your diary - we hope for a very good attendance.

 

Different views are being expressed, and every returned survey form helps to clarify the picture.  We are therefore keeping a window open for returning forms for one more week.  If you still have a form at home, please bring it to church by next weekend at the very latest.  Spare copies are available in the porch or you can do it through the website.

 

Thank you again to all who have returned their forms.  Many valuable and helpful comments have been made which will help guide us all in the decisions we must make as a parish.
