1. George Aldridge gave an update on the financial position of the Parish

2 The rest of the meeting was focussed on the Parish Development Tool. As it was announced in March our deanery is one of three deaneries within Sefton piloting an audit of provision and examining how resources can be shared and how parishes can work closer together. 
Over the past few months three audits have taken place; A Community Audit, A Buildings Audit and a Pastoral Audit. A small working group along with the finance and buildings committees has completed these documents. Then the documents have been ratified and quality assured at Parish  meetings. 
This parish meeting we examined the pastoral audit and people shared what their wishes were for the parish going forward and they were recorded on the document.

All three documents have now been sent to the Pastoral Development Office at the Archdiocese and there is a meeting at the beginning of November where we will find out the next stage of the process.

The documents are listed as PDF's below.
