PPC MEETING THURS 25th JANUARY 2007
"McGreil Report Review: 4 Priority Areas - Work to date.
Priority 1, Young People: The Junior PPC was set up in response to this in Sept 06. There are 18 members - all 1st years - mixture of boys and girls from four post primary schools. They meet on the 2nd Friday of each month. To date they have worked on the Church notice boards; formed sub groups of liturgy, church environment, family Mass. The Church environment group has been involved with the adult group in church decoration for Advent & Christmas. The group took responsibility for Evening Prayer in 3rd Sunday of Advent and were involved in family Mass etc.
Plans for the future? Involvement in Taize Prayer group which will operate in Lent; a questionnaire on religious practice among 1st years; request for permission to paint church notice boards. They need to write to Admin & Finance groups.
The Junior PPC need to be commissioned - perhaps at Family Mass.
Priority 2, Elderly: There are several organisations in the town for older citizens - Ready (30 members meet every Tues); TARA (membership dropping); Probis (for retired business & professional Wed nights - membership increasing); Day Care Centre and meals-on-wheels.
Suggestion: To bring all the groups together for a celebration liturgy.
This will also raise awareness. Decided to keep this on the agenda.
Refer all this to communications group - highlight above in Bulletin...."
