PARISH NEWSLETTER

Sunday – 21^st April 2024

NEWS AND INFORMATION

THE CORE GROUP: The next meeting will be this Tuesday, 23 April after our evening Mass. Soon the Group will have finished their period of formation
and will begin planning our Parish Day for later in the year. We hope many of you will come forward to help in different ways in the preparation for the day.

PARISH GROUNDS: Now that the large trees and excess shrubbery have been cleared, I will be meeting this Thursday with the Diocesan Property
Manager to discuss the erection of a new fence between our land and the playing fields and to look at creating a new garden area by the main entrance to the church. Later I would be delighted if parishioners can join me to discuss with a landscape gardener
how we can develop this area as a beautiful and welcoming entrance to our church. Watch this space for more details!
If any parishioner is able to cut the grass area around the church on a regular basis, please let me

know.

THE DIOCESE OF SHREWSBURY is seeking to recruit a Director of Schools and applications are now open. Details of the role and the application
process can be found at https://www.tes.com/jobs/vacancy/director-of-schools-birkenhead-2040730

A YEAR OF ENCOUNTER:
With a UK general election due sometime this year, politicians will be looking for our votes. We have a responsibility as Catholics to make sure that parties
commit to tackling issues such as poverty and injustice. Raising our voices and contacting parliamentary candidates as a parish community will send a strong signal to those standing for election in our local constituencies.  A Year of Encounter is a
joint initiative between CAFOD and St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP), equipping Catholics to ask key questions of local candidates at the key moments. Please see
cafod.org.uk/encounter for more information, including an online session on 4 May to learn more.
