Olton Friary Parish Volunteers social evening with Bishop David Evens
As one of our dedicated volunteers at Olton Friary, the parish volunteers play an essential role in ensuring the smooth functioning of the parish. Their invaluable time and talents contribute significantly to the parish community, and as a Parish Priest I am immensely grateful for their ongoing commitment.
During the Synodal Journey, parishioners also expressed the need for a new Parish Directory to aid communication, as the previous one was outdated. With the help of the Parish Directory team, I have updated our new Parish Directory to include all relevant parish information, its management, church services, and liturgy.
We currently have 33 active groups, consisting of 140 dedicated parishioners and 20 teenagers and youngsters. Many of our volunteers contribute to more than one capacity, showcasing their diverse skills. Our volunteers come from all walks of life, generously devoting their time and expertise in various capacities and abilities.
In recognition of their exceptional contribution, on behalf of the Sacred Heart Community and Parish I Fr Biju Antony SCJ parish Priest cordially invited them all for a special "Thank You" buffet on the solemnity of Christ King evening that is on 25ht of November for all our volunteers. This event aims to foster connection, knowledge-sharing, and appreciation among volunteers. We were blessed to have Bishop David Evans as our special guest, along with Fr. Austin, Bros. Gerard, and Liam.
