Parish Strategic PlanningThank you to the many parishioners who shared their ideas, their concerns, and most of all, their passion for an amazing parish.
The suggestions, feedback and ideas have been collated and used at the Strategic Planning Day. We hope to have a draft Strategic Plan ready to share with our parish community by mid January. Thank you for your time and sharing of great ideas that will engender a positive outcome. WELCOME Deacon Francis This week we welcomed Deacon Francis Fernandes to our parish. He will be learning from all of us as he completes his formation before being ordained in June 2021. Please make him welcome.
