 Every so often, just when people are getting ready to go home after Mass, somebody will go to the lectern and introduce him or herself as being a member of the Parish Council, and then proceed, usually, to ask for money. So, who are these people and why do they want your cash?
Well, the Parish Council exists to help in the running of the parish, in matters both spiritual and secular. The council meets regularly, roughly every couple of months, to discuss matters relevant to the parish. You don’t even have to be a member of the Parish Council to attend: any parishioner is welcome to come along. A typical meeting will begin with a prayer and then go on to look through the minutes of the previous session to see how the matters raised have been dealt with. Then we’ll discuss such matters as finance (as our treasurer is fond of pointing out, it costs £3,000 a week to run the parish), the parish hall and its uses and abuses, fund raising (hence our appearances at the end of Mass) and – it’s not all mammon – prayer and evangelisation. |

OUR LADY OF LOURDES, NEW SOUTHGATE PARISH COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT SUNDAY 28th JUNE 2009 PARISH TEAM
There has been a change to our Parish Team since the last AGM, as Fr. Damian has left us to work full time for SPEC at London Colney. In his place we welcomed Fr. Kevin Moule, who was ordained last November and has come to us as his first official appointment in the Diocese. Together with Aileen, our Catechist in Chief, Fr Tom and Fr Kevin hold regular Monday morning meetings to discuss upcoming events and items for the newsletter. Fr. Thomas Parayadyil, is still in residence as chaplain to the Syro-Malabar community from Kerula in India and he is kept very busy, visiting communities around the London area and holding a series of Marriage Preparation programmes in the Small Hall. We are still very fortunate to have Fr. John McDade who continues to help out with our Sunday Masses. Sadly both Fr. Damian and Fr. Thomas lost close family members during this year and our sympathies are, and have been, offered to them both. We welcomed Bishop John Arnold to the Parish in December for an official Visitation. He met with parish groups including the catechists, the Parish Council and the Finance Team and was available to speak to any parishioner who wanted to see him. He also paid visits to the sick and attended our Christmas party. His report was very favourable and some of it has been posted on the website for you all to read. |
