Preparing the Parish for future challenges - Fr Mick
Some of these challenges relates to Parish 2020. Diocese making a lot of decisions. Brian Fitzgerald and Kevin Grant been going to the meetings and want the Parish to begin thinking about strategies as a Parish about what are the questions for our Parish in 5, 10, 15 years time so as these issues unfold, we have already begun thinking about it and make good decisions. Fr Mick wants to form a group that could do this thinking.

We had two tenures. Both were over budget so we have had to think about possibilities. We want something to last. We want something relevant.
