Bulletin 23 August 2015

Parish Bulletin – 23rd August 2015

Mary Kirk Pastoral Worker

We invite you to join us in our goodbyes to Mary on Saturday Mass on 29th August at 7 p.m followed by tea & biscuits. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mary for all her work here in St. Maur’s and we wish her the very best of luck & happiness in her new job in Marino.

Invitation for new Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) members

New members are needed to serve their parish and community as members of the Parish Pastoral Council.

Commitment to the Pastoral Council involves attendance at a monthly meeting, commitment to on-going formation and development and a willingness to participate in various activities between meetings.

In previous years parishioners joined the pastoral council with very little knowledge of what was involved.  This year we invite those who think they may be interested in joining the Pastoral Council to attend a “Come and See” day on Saturday 12th September (9am to 4:30pm , light lunch provided)– this will be a day for discernment, a day to ask “is this for me?”

For more information please contact the parish office.
 

Deaths

We extend our deepest sympathy to the families of Maureen Ennis & Millie Flynn who passed away recently. May they rest in peace.
