1. THE PARISH TEAM
Fr Tom and Fr Vincent meet on Monday mornings to plan the week ahead and review events. They discuss the content of the newsletter and make sure the diaries are up to date.
Fr Thomas Parayadyil, continues to work with his community as the Syro-Malabar chaplain. Fr Johnson Alexander has been celebrating weekend masses while Fr Antonio Serra, is the new Priest in Charge of the Italian Mission at Ponders End joining the Enfield Deanery in September.
Operationally, Jane Landi runs the Parish Office while Kevin Keenan is Secretary for the Parish Council. The Parish Council and Finance Committee meet on a quarterly basis, here in the Parish Centre to review matters arising both pastoral and practical. The time and effort contributed by the members is very much appreciated and valued.

Matters Arising From Previous Meeting
· Security
A quote has been received for the upgrading of the CCTV system. We are awaiting a response from a second company and third suggested by Patrick Madigan who we hope will also quote for the work. This is now urgent; since the last Parish Council meeting there has been another attempted break in (a window was smashed in the office).
· Hi-Fi (Main Parish Hall)
Ray advised as far as he is aware the PA system via the ceiling the speakers in the hall is working – the old floor standing speakers are broken and the PA is activated from the storage cupboard.
