 Diocesan Pastoral Plan: Having also had opportunity to digest your own ‘jottings’ etc. people have sent in and an initial meeting with Fr. Chris Bergin, who has been appointed as the Moderator for the new ‘super parish’ could we have a parish discussion on the 8th December after the 10 am Sunday Mass? Having a meeting at that time would create a natural finishing time for lunch, i.e. 12.30 Diocesan Pastoral Plan: Having now had opportunity to give thought and consideration to the Pastoral Plan, a summary of your ‘jottings’ to find a way forward locally, are now available in paper printed format only at the entrances to the church. Our thanks to all those who contributed to the process and to those who collated and summarized the jottings for your consideration. Having also had opportunity to digest the ‘jottings’ etc. we would hope to have a parish discussion on the matter towards the end of November; would a good time be after the 10 am Sunday Mass? Having a meeting at that time would create a natural finishing time for lunch, i.e. 12.30

ROSARY CIRCLE FOR PRIESTLY VOCATIONS :- There is a new ‘Rosary Circle Chart’ to encourage us all to pray for vocations to the Priesthood. The ‘Chart’ lists the 20 decades of the Rosary and a number of columns for people to put their initial or a tick in a box to indicate they will commit to praying the particular decade each day for the month of November, and hopefully, this will create a number of ‘circles’ praying for this intention. This is a very simple spiritual exercise many of us could join in with; at least 20 people praying one decade of the Rosary each day, so the whole of the Rosary is prayed for this particular intention, thus creating a ‘Rosary Circle’. Let it be said, however, that anyone can join the Rosary Circles at any time. Thank you.
