BANAGHER PARISH GROUP
– For the past nine or ten months, Fr
John has been meeting a small group from the
Parish with a view to looking at some sort of
Parish renewal. This group represented the three
parts of our parish; two people from each end.
We met about four or five times. We were trying
to identify different areas of need in the Parish.
There was no agenda, we met in faith to be guided
by the Spirit. The conclusion we have reached
to date is that there needs to be more ownership
of our Parish by the people of the Parish. We
need to take more responsibility in the running
and the organising of day to day routine as
well as looking at more major areas of need.
To be able to do this better it was decided
at the last meeting that we now need more people
on board. This will give us a wider vision.
With this in mind there will be a box in each
of the Chapels next weekend and everyone is
asked to nominate those whom we think would
be good at this. What sort of person should
we nominate? Someone who firstly has an interest
in Church and Parish. Someone who has an openness
to change and who will not be afraid moving
forward and bringing others with them. Please
give this some thought. This is important for
the future of our parish and the spiritual health
of our children. Thank you for your help and
co-operation.
