Parish Priests and Administrators, with their Parish Pastoral Councils, are invited to an evening workshop to which will assist with effective planning including one-off events, annual calendars, new initiatives, and more. The evening wil include input and discussion about the key questions that can help us optimise our effectiveness:
  

• Who is really in the pews?
• Who else can we welcome into our midst?
• What are the genuine needs of our people?
• How can we best coordinate our parish efforts to avoid wasted time and energy?
