Tradecraft – Unfortunately Mary Crosby was unable to attend the meeting but sent a report to say that she had placed an order for tradecraft products for the parish shop and had catalogues available; she will give further feedback next month. MD has offered to help with the tradecraft if this is needed; she also offered to send a get well card to Mary.

Thanks Maria

The team are meeting for the first time after the summer break on 19^th September and will report back at the next meeting.

3. Review of Parish Pastoral Plan - Liturgy and worship (CH)

• No representatives from the liturgy group were present at the meeting; so a discussion about the role of the liturgy group will be carried over to the next meeting. However, it was discussed that there is a wealth of liturgy within the packs for specific awareness day’s e.g. racial justice Sunday that parishioners may like to prepare for the parish.
• Fr Peter reported that the clergy are looking at themes for the church year, and will place relevant references in the parish news letter from the catechism and scripture.
• An update about access to the Liturgy/Sacraments and the church building for disabled people will be presented at the parish AGM. Action LB

CH and PM are both unable to attend the parish AGM. CH will ask Maura to produce the same format as last year for advertising the event.

All representatives of the parish group are encouraged to ask their members to set up a stand at the AGM to inform the parish about the work that they do.

It was thought that a display using digital photographs of parish events would be effective. An item will be placed in the newsletter asking for photographs to be e-mailed to CC. Who has kindly agreed to organise this.

Refreshments – MD to ask Sylvia O’Shea’s SOS team to provide the catering and use tradecraft products. Action MD
