AND FOR OUR SICK AND HOUSEBOUND
PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL AGM
Thanks to those who came along last Sunday and especially to Margaret Swift, who planned it. Although it was a disappointing turn out I thought we had a high-quality discussion especially about the decline in Mass numbers and the scarcity of volunteers for parish needs. We decided to put the Bishop’s proposal for the High Peak to the whole parish at Mass sometime this November as it’s something we all need to know about and prepare for.
VISITING THE HOUSEBOUND
Do you know of any Catholics who would like a home visit or Holy Communion at home? Please let Fr Gerry or Iris Thomson know.

CONGRATULATIONS TO JULIA WIGGINS who was appointed permanent Headteacher of St Anne’s School last Monday. Julia has been “Acting Headteacher” and “Head of School” over the past 18 months and has been responsible for significant improvements especially in SATS results, Staff morale, and parent relationships. I have invited her to come and talk to us at Mass in the near future and she has already planned a Christingle Service for the school here on Sunday, December 22nd at 3 pm.
