SOCIAL FUNCTION AFTER THE EASTER VIGIL

GT suggested a social function after the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday – suggested a shared table for food and a glass of wine on entry. It was agreed to go ahead with this, especially as it would give us the opportunity to welcome our RCIA members, who are to be received into the church during the Easter Vigil liturgy. This function is to be advertised in the parish newsletter for the two weeks preceding Holy Week. Action MR

A.O.B.

LB mentioned that she knew of a few young people eager to raise funds for a worthy cause – various suggestions of "good causes" were made.
