An ongoing concern is to
encourage the New Evangelisation called for by the last three popes. If interested, please speak to any of the parish clergy or to Gerry McWilliams, chair of the PPC ,or any PPC member.

LET’s TALK: Adults: There is a commonly held view that the Church has lost touch with the world – for example, regarding the growing equality of women in our time : should ordination be open for them.Would it affect our idea of the priesthood? Are there other reasons the Church might have for not ordaining women? Should the Church not try to be more up to date? Come and join in the discussion in St Mary’s Catholic Club. Monday 21st November, 7.00pm. All welcome.
