Proclaim 15 – Evening of Prayer in Parishes, 11th July Cardinal Nichols is inviting parishes across England and Wales to organise an Evening of Prayer for evangelisation on Sat 11th July. Evening of Prayer materials available on www.catholic news.org.uk/proclaim15 Climate Change Rally Wednesday 17th June Flowers for Malala – 11th July Malala Yousif’s 18th birthday is on the 11th July – this will bring an opportunity for the whole community to come together (including schools, churches etc) via the initiative of ‘Flowers for Malala’. Shop – An audit and stock take has now been carried out of all the items in the church shop and store. There is a chance that St. Francis in Ascot might be interested in purchasing some of our stock. Fr. Danny has repeatedly asked for volunteers to run the shop; however to date there have been no offers of help. Marion offered to help in the interim. It was agreed that this is too big a job for one person to take on. One suggestion made was that someone took responsibility for the ordering and volunteers manned it. However this would require some careful monitoring. Chris and Mary are available to open up the shop if anyone needs it, however Father Danny pointed out they cannot do this on an ongoing basis. Parish Office - A reorganisation is planned to allow Mary to move away from the administrative side of things and into a more ‘Pastoral’ role. A replacement will be recruited in due course to work alongside Chris in the parish office. New Evangelisation Strategy Team – Father Danny informed the PPC that the new team is now in place. The team comprises representatives from all the parishes in our Pastoral Area and Mary will be the chair. The first meeting will take place on 14th July 2015. 9. Closing Prayer Father Danny led the closing prayer.
