Vision for St Canice’s Parish
A Vision for St Caniceโs Parish
โDoorways to the Heartโ
Parish Priest Fr Dave Braithwaite SJ writes: “On my first Sunday as parish priest of St Caniceโs I was energised and acknowledged that the parish always had โoutreachโ at its heart – not only within in St Caniceโs Kitchen, but also reaching out to serve people like in our sister parish in Railaco Missionย East Timor, and the marginalised friends from Davidโs Place. With falling church attendance globally itโs clear to me that we need to reinvigorate the parishioners of old to return, and at the same time to look outside the box to find new ways to get people of all ages to want to be part of the St Canice community. I am working closely with the Parish Financial team to develop plans and to take the necessary steps to make the parish sustainable.
I write this โVisionโ document to give you an idea of what I am thinking. I look forward to meeting more of you personally to listen what may be on your minds, and to answer any questions that you may have.
Gaudete โJoyfulโ Sunday

And with good numbers at the special Gaudete โJoyfulโ Sunday Mass st St Caniceโs this morning, itโs beginning to feel a lot like โcommunityโ once more.
