The R.C.I.A. programme is going well, with a number of interested parishioners.
GT updated the group – no appointment made as yet. The group are still searching for suitable candidates and it is likely that any appointment will be a part time one working for West Bridgford and Cotgrave only.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CARD
The value of distributing Parish Christmas Cards to all houses in the area was re-evaluated and it was decided that it was a valuable and worthwhile exercise for a number of reasons. MR will order the cards and will appreciate help in packing them up into envelopes and boxes at the start of the November PPC meeting. Extra pairs of hands at that time will be much appreciated. Parishioners will be asked to pick up packets of cards for distribution at weekend Masses on 6 & 7 December and 13 & 14 December.
