+ Parishioners Thoughts on Our Proposed Partnership +

The proposal we have to write will describe how our partnership will work and it has a number of sections that we feel requires your voice and opinions – so please write and hand in or post in the suggestion box at the back of church.

Please consider, the five areas your feedback identified as being central to a community life: Sacramental Preparation & Adult Formation, Families & Outreach, Administration & Maintenance, Worship & Spiritual Life, and Social & Fundraising.

Please also consider if all or any of these areas could benefit from a co-ordinated voluntary or paid support worker.

[Please ignore numbering which refers to sections on the final form – These questions are on our website/social media]
