Parish Pastoral Group: Each parish has a Parish Pastoral Group. People from different parts of the parish are represented. The group meets about four times a year. Different aspects of the parish are discussed; how to celebrate the Sacraments making them meaningful for people, making our churches comfortable for Liturgy, welcoming new people to the parish & having a parish mission. The passing on of our faith is very important. When people get together there is great sharing. The parishes of Milltown, Castlemaine, Killorglin, Glenbeigh and Beaufort will be working together into the future. On occasions, group members from these parishes will meet together. Castlemaine parish has no Priest and parishioners are managing what Priests were doing, taking control of parish affairs. This will be the situation in other parishes in the next few years. I am inviting people to join our group. If you have a desire to share your gifts for the good of the parish, you are very welcome to join. Contact: Fr Danny Broderick 087 9061255 or Castlemaine Parish Office 087 2979864 during office hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays 9.30am – 12.30pm. – Fr Danny Broderick
