WELCOME AGAIN FATHER
TOM KENNY I am going to spend a quiet week or so with my family in
PARISH MEETING ABOUT
THE DIOCESAN PASTORAL PLAN
“Walking humbly with our God”: you may remember that this message from the
prophet Micah was on our banners before Lent. It is also the name of Bishop Perter’s pastoral development plan for the Diocese. I would
like as many parishioners as possible to join together to explore, and respond
to, the Bishop’s vision for the Diocese. It will also be an opportunity to
reflect on our own faith and our role as members of both parish and Diocese.
Come to the gathering on Saturday, 28th
March, in the Walsingham
Hall from 10.30 am to 1.00pm. We are living in challenging times that offer us
great opportunities for growth and development. Please make a date in your
diary and come.
THE NATIONAL BOARD OF
CATHOLIC WOMEN (NBCW) is an umbrella body
of national organisations and diocesan networks; it is a consultative body
to the Bishop’s Conference and is linked to the United Nations and to European
and World networks of Catholic Women’s Organisations. The Board is made up of
‘diocesan links’ from individual
dioceses, and Bishop Peter has decided that our diocese should be represented
(after a break of some years) Our ‘diocesan link’ is Maura Potter from Burnham,
and she works with a core group to create opportunities to listen to the views
and concerns of women across the diocese. The next such opportunity, open to
all interested Catholic women, will be at Christ the Cornerstone,
PLEASE COME and listen to the wonderful Aylesbury Consort of Voices choir who are generously performing in our church to raise money
for the CAFOD project of 2009
