1.      THE PARISH TEAM

Fr Tom and Fr Vincent meet on Monday mornings to plan the week ahead and review past events.  They discuss the content of the newsletter and make sure the diaries are up to date.

Fr Kevin Moule was appointed as Parish Priest of Radlett and Shenley, celebrating his last Mass on 11th September.     Fr Kevin celebrated the Mass on 20th November    followed by a well attended farewell reception in the Parish Hall.

Fr Thomas Parayadyil, had to reapply for his visa owing to an error by the Home Office which temporarily suspended the celebration of the 8.00 am Mass.  Fr Thomas thankfully was able to return to the Parish from India and continues to work with his community as the Syro-Malabar chaplain.  We were also joined for a week in October by Fr Fred De L’Orme who celebrated weekday masses while Fr’s Tom and Vincent were in retreat.

We have been joined by Fr Anthony Homer who has been celebrating weekend masses.

Jane Landi stepped down as Council Secretary after many years of devoted service and the appreciation and thanks of Fr Tom and the entire Council. Jane is still running the Parish Office and Kevin Keenan was invited, elected and joined the Council as Secretary in November 2011.
