VOLUNTEERS IN THE CHURCH

A very big thank you to all the volunteers in our parish community. We  cannot thank you enough for the gift of your time and talents. However, we are mindful that our parish priest and the entire pastoral team have the duty of care over our staff and over those who volunteer to support us in any way. We have carefully discerned that some are beginning to be burdened by their voluntary services. Recently, we have received a good number of brilliant recommendations in the suggestion box; part of it being the need to make some changes and to relieve some volunteers of their duties. Therefore, without prejudice to the excellent services of our volunteers, we invite anyone who wish to be relieved of their duties in the parish, especially those in the finance and pastoral committees of the parish to inform our parish priest as soon as possible. We do hope that any decision taken in this regard will rightly be understood as having been carefully made with prayer and discernment.

SUGGESTION BOX THE GIFT AID

A box is available in front of the church for any suggestions anyone may have to improve the liturgy, life and mission of our parish community. It will be available for the period of August. Thank you.
