St Brendan's Parish Forum

PLEASE NOTE: WITH EFFECT FROM 16 JULY 2012, ST BRENDAN'S PARISH FORUM HAS CEASED AND IS NOW REPLACED WITH THE JOINT PARISH FORUM SERVING BOTH ST BRENDAN'S AND ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST


Link to Joint Parish Forum


The forum was established in March 2008 to promote wider engagement of parishioners in the running of the parish and to re-invigorate St Brendan’s Parish spiritually, materially & socially. It is a consultative forum where the full range of parish issues can be discussed and options and solutions developed. Most importantly, parishioners can help shape the parish’s future and by taking ownership of relevant matters, play their part in making St Brendan’s a thriving parish.

Since its inception the forum has had a number of successes. Some key achievements include; the major refurbishment of the church and the building of the Harbour Room; introduction of the children’s liturgy; a thriving social calendar and generous support of a diverse range of Christian charities.

Going forward, challenges and opportunities for the forum include; introduction of the new Translation of the Roman Missal; as well as greater integration of the communities of St Brendan’s and St John’s in the context of ‘Faith in the Future’.
 

Meeting Times

Meetings are held in the Harbour Room, on an ‘as needed’ basis and are advertised on the weekly parish newsletter and this website. Please let Father Cooke know if you have any items to put on the agenda, or if you want to be added to the email distribution list.
