 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. |

Many thanks to everyone who attended the parish AGM last Sunday. There was an excellent turnout, particularly when you consider the other attractions of the evening, and on behalf of the Parish Council I would like to thank Cecilia Webb and her helpers for the smooth organisation, and tea and sandwiches afterwards. The most notable feature of the evening was the election of three new members to the Parish Council: Gerard Barden, Greg Howard and John Wilson. New blood and new ideas will be very welcome on the council. The minutes of the last AGM, in 2007, are now online, as is the annual report for 2007-2008. We hope to have the minutes for Sunday's meeting written up and available on the website soon. Thank you also to all the people who couldn't attend the meeting but who contributed ideas, questions and prayers. The next Parish Council meeting will be in September, so may we wish you a very relaxing summer. |

OUR LADY OF LOURDES, NEW SOUTHGATE
PARISH COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT
SUNDAY 29th JUNE 2008 PARISH TEAM
Fr. Tom, Fr. Damian and Aileen are still going strong. They discuss weekly events and set up the various catechetical programmes that run annually in the Parish. Fr. McDade still comes every Sunday to take one or two Masses. Fr. Thomas Parayadyil has been staying with us whilst serving as the Syro-Malabar chaplain to the Kerulan community. Recently he has also had Fr. Joseph to assist him. They work very hard, travelling all over the country and are rarely around at the weekends, although they do help with daily masses. Fr. Jose has now gone home to India. Fr. Damian offered House Masses on the Fridays of Lent and Advent, which attracted about 20 people at a time. They were arranged so that they took place in different areas of the parish, and the idea was to invite your neighbours rather than your friends, who may not live in the immediate area. Fr. Damian has been appointed as part time youth chaplain to the Diocese and spends one day a week at SPEC. He will be joining the Westminster Group going to the World Youth Day in Australia. One of our young parishioners, Elizabeth Coleman is also going, sponsored by the Catenians. |
