In relation to the letter from Fr Taylor, indicating
the cessation of his mission in Malawi, which is attached to these minutes, the
following was agreed:
It was resolved the group
dissolve prior to the end of the financial year, to formally communicate that
closure to the parish on the date for the planned celebration of the Feast day
of St Kisto to end on a high note.
· No further fund raising be
undertaken
· A letter be sent to Fr
Taylor congratulating him on his Golden Jubilee and seeking confirmation on the
timing of our final contribution.
· Following advice from Fr. Taylor
a final meeting is to be held in May or June where arrangements would be
confirmed to subsequently cancel the ABN, notify the Charities Commission and
close the bank account in accordance with a final resolution of that special
meeting, to which formal notice is hereby given.
Members and everyone are justified in feeling delighted we are ending on a high note.
Just as can Fr Taylor.
It was agreed at the respective Masses to celebrate
the feast day of St Kizito the Chairman would express our thanks to past and
present members, to the parish, and to generous commitments from outside of the
parish. All have contributed towards the self-sufficiency which is now in sight
for our sister parish.
Note was to be made that $127,000 had been remitted during
our 24 years of support to your sister parish, which played no small part in
the achievement of the current milestone. Hence it will be pointed out our
involvement ceases on a high note. After the Sunday Mass it was suggested a
special morning tea would commemorate the occasion when a few photos could be taken.
