Communications Team - Communication Group? Bosconian, Social Media, Website, Instagram - One voice of the Parish

  • Parish Communication Team.    (from Bulletin)

    One of the big challenges in every group these days - and for families and for you and I is communicating!   We are looking for a team of people who see the importance of communication, and are willing to be part of our Parish Communications Team.  The first specific task will be to help bring the Bosconian to the community a number of times a year. A few people have already put their hand up to be part of this team, but we are looking for a few more with vision, skills and passion.   The breadth of the teams role would be to continue to support and evaluate our means of communication (website, bulletin, etc) and explore other possibilities in this area. If you are interested or know someone you believe have gifts in this area, please contact Fr Mick.

    History of how this has evolved - John Casey - and experience in forming MLT.

    My idea - this is a Tool to help grow and link our parish … 

    Your thoughts, suggestions around this concept and how to make it real?


    It cannot be either/or - just digital rather than printed. Print some and move towards digital.

  • Plenary Council 2020 update

From John Day email - The Plenary Council 2020 preparation has taken a step forward with the publication on Pentecost Sunday of the major themes that will be used to group and prepare the agenda items for the Plenary Council. 

They have made a one double sided A4 sheet for ease of reference.

They are considering how to distribute/communicate this and to whom? 

They are preparing for the next phase which will involve some form of Parish/small group discernment to feed into the Working Groups that will be formed to prepare the Plenary Council agenda items in each of the 6 themes.
