MY HOPES:

My fond hope is that this weekend we will have a positive response to the invitation to pool our gifts and resources so that we can plan the future with renewed confidence, knowing that we have teams of people to whom we can turn to cover all the key areas of parish life and ministry. It may take a while to assess the whole situation and work out where and how to manage whatever training will be required. However, I am sure that you will be patient with our administrative teams as they process the information that is forthcoming, and we will try to keep you informed every step of the way. Meanwhile, thank you in anticipation of some exciting new initiatives and the prospect of a renewed vision of how we can continue to celebrate our faith as vibrant and committed Christian communities.
