- Province – The Provincial mass took place at Holy Angels on November 18th and although not overall well attended there was good representation from Knutsford Circle. The Provincial carol service was held at St Pius Alderley Edge on December 10th attended by approximately 45 brothers and guests.
Membership – Brother Harish reported that he was encouraged by the number of new Brothers who had joined, or would be joining, the Province, particularly via Knutsford and North Cheshire Circles. There was a debate on the part played by the Parish Priest in aiding recruitment, particularly given the role played by Catenians in many parishes. It was felt that there should be an overall view taken by Bishops to encourage local Priests to support Circles. This was a view put forward by North Cheshire. - National – Brother Director reported on the development of the “Digital Highway” project. The developers are committed to finding leads for 300 potential recruits for Circles per annum.
- There is an emphasis on reducing Central costs e.g. Warwick will be the last “live” National Conference after which the national AGM will all be online supported by a National Social Event.
Finance
- Circle Finances remain healthy.
- Following the Christmas Party £250 has been donated to Just Drop In.
