Well here we are! The adventure begins….together!
“For surely I know I the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm; to give you a future with hope. Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find me, says the Lord.”
Last weekend we welcomed Kevin Connors as our sacramental minister at the Sunday Masses and I would like to add that I am looking forward to working with Kevin in the Parish.
The timetable below will give you some idea of how I will organise my time during the week. Each week I will update the plan for the week taking into account the various meetings and events occurring at the time. However I would like to keep Tuesdays for Eastbourne (San Antonio) and Fridays for Carterton/Greytown (St Mary’s) as far as possible to give some stability to the plan. I am available for appointments, either by parish phone 379 8033 or a/h 379 8279; 027 657 5512 cell; but otherwise just pop in for a chat and a coffee. The door will be open and you will be welcome. Kevin will be available for baptisms and weddings as well as the weekend Masses.
You will need to contact me with the details and I will liaise with Kevin and confirm arrangements with you. I will be working closely with the Parish Pastoral Development Team, Father Kevin Connors and the Finance Committee. I will also be on the St Mary’s Board of Trustees and look forward to working with the school in a new role.
This Parish has always been a very important part of my life and my dream is that, together, we will continue to grow and develop using our Parish Vision and Mission statement as our chart for the future.
