Social Committee
The roles of the Social Committee in fostering a sense of community and promoting the values espoused in the parish Vision Statement are of prime importance. The ability to draw people together is an integral part of a successful parish community, and is therefore a primary focus for the Social Committee.
The Social Committee plays two major roles within the parish: to organise, in consultation with the Parish Priest, social events for members of the parish throughout the year, and to take on and promote the ministry of welcoming all members of the parish community.
The Social Committee arranges parish social functions, as well as helping other parish groups with catering for morning teas and suppers. It is assisted in these tasks by many parishioners who are not members of the Social Committee.
At the October meeting, the programme of social functions for the following year is decided. There are usually six parish social events each year. After each function, a review is conducted and records are kept to help with the planning of future functions.
The Social Committee would welcome new members and helpers, as well as new ideas and suggestions from parishioners.
