Thanksgiving Meeting Number One

Oct 13, 2010

I have come over to the church to pray for a few moments before our 2pm Thanksgiving Programme meeting. I have no idea what the response will be. The same meeting will be repeated tonight for another group.

To be honest I am a bit apprehensive. We are at a turning point in the life of our parish. We need the resources to be able to reach out to the four thousand Catholic who live within the parish boundaries. We see only 800 at Mass each Sunday.

While I am apprehensive I am also hopeful. Excited even. The possibility for the birth of a new era of parish life is before us.

I will let you know how we go.

Pray!

Such wise people have reflected on their life experience enough to know that while a peaceful and perfect day is welcome, we are most connected with others and therefore with God (we could also say most connected with God and therefore with others), when we live a struggle together.

Every day I am with people who may have once been baptised but now feel a distance between themselves and the Church and God. We are these people, as are too many of our family, friends, neighbours and workmates. This book therefore is for us.
