Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
The Parish Council Meeting on Tuesday evening went very well; please God, it is preparing us as well as possible for our future. At the heart of this is the need to become communities of faith. In order to do this the ministries of the church are most important. We will establish a structure to develop these ministries. Clearly this calls for a syllabus and a time frame to be established, so that all can play a full part in the life and liturgy of the church.
I just received a letter from Bishop Richard confirming that Fr Kevin Dring has been appointed as Moderator of the Moderated Parish for the communities currently making up the Eastbourne and St Leonards Deanery. I know you will join with him in continuing to develop the Pastoral Plan across the communities involved.
