10.Establish and maintain child care centres.
Some of these objectives are fulfilled
on a Diocesan basis - for example, child care centres.Not each Parish group is expected to run a child care centre.
Parish CWL groups are mostly involved in
the life of the Parish, supporting the Parish Priest and the pastoral work of
the Parish - for example, visiting the sick.
Parish groups usually meet monthly for
prayer, socialising, guest speakers, and generally having a good time in the
company of their Catholic community friends.Fundraising for different causes is another important task, which also
helps to build up the friendships among members.
Edwardstown
and Plympton groups have combined and meet at St. John's Hall, Plympton on the
2nd Tuesday of each month at 10.30am.Details of fundraising and just-fun events are advertised in the Parish
bulletin.
