St Winefride's Parish - Forging New Links For The Future.

 

All current and future Parish activities will be included within one of the 7 new groupings: Liturgy, Faith-Sharing, Youth, Social, Finance, Buildings and Communication, which will provide a focus and identity for each area of our Parish life.

 

Every Parish Committee, Society, Group and Organisation - and through them all of their members - will also enjoy effective two-way communication with the Parish Pastoral Council, via their contact(s).

 

The six new groupings - Liturgy, Faith-Sharing, Youth, Social, Finance/Buildings and Communication - will encompass all current and future Parish activities - please help them to grow in strength and purpose.

 

St Winefride's is already greatly blessed by having a wealth of existing dedicated parishioners, who work tirelessly for the welfare of the Parish - long may they continue to offer their invaluable help and experience - a thousand thanks to every one of you.

 

And, new members are always very welcome - so please come and join in...

 

We are all invited to use our many and diverse gifts, skills and achievements to participate fully in Parish life - everyone is most warmly welcomed to play their part, no matter how small and be an equally valued member of our Parish community.

 

Many Parishes within the Diocese have already established these, or similar, groupings to great effect (some produce an annual overview of their accomplishments, which is then made available to all parishioners).

 

May we move forward together - to help and support each other and strengthen the Spiritual and temporal well-being of our Parish and all of our Parishioners.
