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.
