Church Core Group
The Core Group is a pastoral planning group made up
of six representatives of St Joseph's community who
meet regularly with one of the priests. This group is
formed from names proposed by the community and serve
for a two year period. Their role is to be a channel of
communication for the views and hopes of the community,
which can then be fed into the Parish Pastoral Plan and
work of the Parish Pastoral Council
There is a suggestion box at the back of the church
where you can leave any issues you wish to be raised in
the Core Group. Alternatively you can contact us via
email on
or on 01737 761017. Dates of forthcoming meetings can be
found in the last Minutes.
CORE GROUP MEMBERS REQUIRED
Please consider volunteering to be a member of one of
the core groups of the Parish of the Nativity of Lord,
or nominating another (with permission). The role is
open to anyone in the community of St Joseph’s, Holy
Family or St Teresa’s.
We apologise that, with all the changes in the Parish,
the process begun last year will need to be restarted.
All names are to be submitted in writing to the
Presbytery by May 30th 2012.
The Core Group meets four times a year, and discusses
issues that have been raised by parishioners through the
suggestion box at the back of each church, the Core
Group email address, or direct to Core Group members.
Having considered the issues raised, it passes them to
the Parish Pastoral Committee, the Clergy Meetings or
the appropriate Parish body that can act on them where
appropriate.
Minutes of all meetings can be seen on the notice board
at the back of the Church or the Parish website. The
function of the Core Groups is to facilitate the merger
of the three Church communities into one Parish and
provide a voice for the hopes and concerns of
parishioners during this period of change. This process
is still on-going and Core Groups have a vital role to
play in the healthy functioning of our community.
