The Parish of St Lawrence Issue Number 38 • Winter 2012

Honorary Police RecruitmentWhatever we consider to be our Jersey way oflife, there can surely be no doubt that thisincludes the service to our Parish and Islandcommunity by the Honorary Police, as it hasdone for generations.

Whilst providing that valuable service totheir Parish and community, officers canbenefit personally by gaining confidence andlearning new skills from their training and theduties they undertake.

It seems that a number of parishes arefinding it difficult to recruit officers of all ranksand the number of Honorary Police officers isfalling around the Island. This impacts,inevitably, on their colleagues as well as on theservice they are able to provide to the publicand importantly, on our traditional way of life.

Unfortunately, St Lawrence is no exceptionand as I write this article we are in theunenviable position of not having found areplacement following the resignation of oneof our Centeniers at the end of their term ofoffice.

The Parish is required by law to provide fourCenteniers, each of whom serves for a

three-year term, with the Royal Court setting adate for the election of a replacement at theend of that term.

Commitment is generally one week in fourand includes the important task of conductingParish Hall Enquiries and possibly presentingcases in the Magistrates Court as well asresponding to enquiries from the public.

In 2005, the Parish of St John was unable toelect a Centenier when ordered by the RoyalCourt and the then Deputy Bailiff fined them£5,000 for contempt of Court, saying ‘It is theresponsibility of all parishioners to ensure thatthey elect a Centenier. It is their responsibilityto ensure that someone comes forward. Thefailure to find a person who is both willing toact as a Centenier and is of suitable characterand ability is a failure of the Parish as a wholeand accordingly the fine has to be levied onthe Parish as a whole in order to ensure thatthis message gets home’.

If you are interested in learning more aboutthe role and duties of a Centenier, pleasecontact me at the Parish Hall to arrange ameeting. Your skills and abilities may be justwhat we need to help preserve some of thetraditions that make our Jersey way of life sounique.

Senior Citizen’s Christmas LunchThis is being held at the Hotel Ambassadeur onThursday 13th December. If you live in theParish, please telephone 861672 to reserveyour place as soon as possible. Numbers arelimited so reservations are on a first come firstserved basis Parish Sexton/VergerWe said goodbye to Alan Sty at the end ofAugust when he left the Island to move toEngland. Alan had worked as Parish Sexton fora number of years, as well as being caretaker atthe Parish Hall.

Mark Woodall has taken over these duties.Email AddressesIf you would like to be kept advised by email offorthcoming Parish events, please contact theParish Secretary at stlawrence@posl.gov.je.Finally, although we are still trying to recruit aCentenier, thank you to the many othervolunteers who continue to work towards thesmooth running of the Parish, in whatever roleyou undertake.
