The Parishioner Forum (formerly known as the Parish Think Tank) is a small cross-section of our parish community which, under the direction of the parish priest, considers ways in which the parish can give impetus to our Bishop’s exhortation for us to ‘Encounter Christ’. Part of its role is to help develop a parish environment that encourages vocations to the priesthood and religious life and which reaches out to the wider local community and the sacramentally inactive.
The Parishioner Forum links with the parish’s ministries and services, many of which are represented on the Forum, in order to develop and deliver its initiatives.
