2010 REPORT TO THE PARISH

Introduction

On behalf of the committee I am pleased to report another successful year's fundraising which was helped by some very generous donations and fundraising independent of the parish in relation to the sausage sizzle at Bunning’s. What we missed out on this year was in celebrating St Kizito's feast day which we need to earmark for next year. We also saw our article published in St Patrick’s Mission’s publication which was of delight to Fr Taylor.

Extension of the support to our sister parish.

Our fundraiser has now been extended to not only support the 300 children attending the Catholic School of Mt Silize (40 of which are orphans) for their daily school breakfast, school books, and school fees and to allow 15 boys and girls to attend secondary and post secondary school but also now to Ntandire. At Ntandire the woman of the Church have started a nursery school with over 100 children who are fed 3 times a week.

Activities this year
Our Crazy Whist held in the gathering area continues to be an enjoyable social event.

The Bunning’s BBQ was a great success as a consequence of good planning and hard work. The Theatre night ‘Murder is Announced’ was great entertainment supplemented with further donations.

We were entertained in the previous year end and danced to the wonderful music of the "The Degenerates" who donated their services for a sixties dinner dance and we look forward to the event again this year

Once again thanks to everyone for a splendid result.
