Reflection

AMC led an audit of all ministries offered at St Joseph’s with the view of the group becoming more aware of what is already at work in our church. It was felt that a centralised file outlining all these ministries and their leaders (with contact details) and members should be available to all who might need such information. Once the file is completed, the group will then decide how to share with the parish and ask/invite parishioners to offer their own unique gifts and talents should they wish to do so.

The aim overall is to widen our ministries and encourage/include new members.

The list includes, but is not considered exclusive: Eucharistic ministers, Service of the Word group, Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, Readers/Prayers, Bereavement Group, St Joseph’s Support Group, Music, Christmas/Lent organising, Children’s liturgy, Reflection Group, Welcoming, Offertory/Collections, Coffee afternoons, Live Simply, Marriage preparation. Ecumenical links was something we wish to create going forward.

Cleaners, Flowers, Tea & Coffee, Health & Safety and Maintenance, Finance, Gardens, Social events.

AMC will contact the present leaders of these groups and ask them to prepare a simple paragraph or two outlining their ministry along with leaders’ contact details and names of members. A draft file will be created for the Reflection Group to view and discuss.

SH to inform Maria Oldroyd for the bulletin.

Harvest Celebration – Margaret Edge wishes to play a Harvest song at both Masses and will provide song sheets on weekend of 12th/13th October. There will be an opportunity for parishioners to bring food on this harvest weekend for the Salvation Army food bank.

AMC raised an issue with signing petitions at the front of church at communion. The issue was not with signing per se, but more of a social and timing one. It was felt by one or two that it became a pressure issue and could lead to some feeling obliged to sign due to its positioning right at the front, and perhaps guilt if they did not. While AMC recognises that these emotions might not be at the forefront of a lot of people’s minds, the issue was brought to her and she wished to raise it.

Many thanks for those who turned out for the parish walk.

Covenant with the poor: CP suggested moving the date of this from Advent to Lent. All agreed.

Bishop Ralph is to say Mass on 10th November 2024.

Door to Parish Room is sticking/warped. Difficult to lock. Tony Carroll to look at it.

Request made for monthly zoom Mass for our elderly parishioners who cannot get to church. This is to be looked into.

Parish room to be used for by election on 7th November 2024

Coffee Afternoon 30th October 1-3pm

Next meeting – 6th November at 7pm.
