​​On Wednesday, 26th January, we saw the election of eight new members to the Parish Pastoral Council. We thank them for their willingness to serve the parish as PastoralCouncil members. The new members are Jim Lucey, Dan Manahan, Ruth D’Alton, Peter Carvill, Catherine O’Reilly, Freddie Maguire, Anne Keogh and Michael John Flynn. Happily also two members of the Council, Anne Bacon and Mary Murphy have another year to serve in their term and will constitute with the new members the Parish Pastoral Council as we go forward. Officers will be elected at our next meeting on February 14th.
 
In welcoming our new Council members we thank those who have served their term and are now standing down. When they came on board they could not have envisaged the challenge of the last two years of pandemic. They have done very well to guide us all through a difficult time and we thank them sincerely, Joe McNamara who was chairperson since late in 2018, Fiona O’Brien who was our secretary and Valerie Sweeney and Veronica Lyons. We were unable to hold an AGM in 2020 or 2021 and had we done so would have recorded also the service given to the Council by Gerard Lincoln, Joe McElvaddy and Karen Hickey, whose term of service ended in these previous two years.  We hold cherished memory also of Ali Pigot who died during her term of office and was always a great servant of our parish community.
 
Our thanks also to the Parish Finance Committee for their participation and sharing of the Financial Reports for 2019 and 2020.​
