Group1.

Priorities to be addressed

1. Attract younger members to the Parish and hopefully the Choir- Means of achieving this.

2. Look at possibility of raising parish profile through the Internet.

3. Look at possibility of restarting refreshments after 11:00 am Mass – Ideally there would need to be a rota on this rather than rest on responsibility of one individual.

4. Recruit more members for Choir

5. Look to approaching First Communion and Confirmation Candidates parents.

6. Enquire if we can host Alpha, Sycamore or Mission/healing Groups.

7. Continue to support Bereavement Group.

Group 2.

Areas of Development going forward. Possibilities to explore if volunteers are willing to support.
