Dear Archdiocesan News Reader
October issue delayed
Regretfully the October issue of the Archdiocesan News will only reach the pews on the second Sunday, 10 October. It will be ready for collection on Wednesday 6 October.
Since there are 5 Sundays in October there should be no knock-on effect and the November issue is planned for the first Sunday, 7th November, as usual.
That does mean there are a few more days to submit parish photographs, with a full caption-story, of Bible Sunday and Catechetical Sunday and another days grace to send notices.
Pull out and keep supplement
I hope you kept the supplement ‘Growing in your Faith’ from the September issue. It was compiled and paid for by the 6 institutes of learning here in the Archdiocese. If your Congregation would like a similar 4-page supplement please contact the Editor. The ADNews is also planning to compile a similar supplement for smaller movements, service organizations, sodalities and retreat centres that offer opportunities for spiritual growth and on-going formation. Please let me know if your organization would like to have a space. There will be a cost, R300 as a rough estimate. The exact cost will depend on uptake of the space. It won’t happen till 2011, hopefully early in the year but I would like to know soon if there is any interest in such a supplement. I think it would be a great service to the Archdiocese.
Budget for 2011
Parishes are preparing their 2011 budgets. Please remind your PFC to confirm the parish order for the AD News. The order can be increased during the year but not decreased. We have to have a total order of 15,500 to go to print at all.
Communications
Improved communication was a Synod ’08 outcome/priority. The Vicar General is overseeing a move towards making use of the latest technology starting with a new website and a weekly e-newsletter.
Make an offer if you think you could help.
The AD News seeks an editor. Must have industry experience and must be a Catholic. Just about everything else is negotiable.
I’ll repeat all this in the ADNews. Look out for it. Draw it to the attention of other readers/leaders. Also the notices below which will now be too late to be of use.
Have you filled in your 2012 consultation form yet?
Regards, Judy
