Led by the spirit

We are now one third of the way through phase three consultation period. Having explored our mission and resources we are now discerning how we can best live out our mission. Bishop Brian encourages the involvement of parishioners in the process. The closing date for parish submissions is September the 30th from which the diocesan collated report will be formed.

Relevant material can be accessed at www.ledby the spirit.rcdai.org.uk I invite you all to read and reflect on the relevant sections of the diocesan website in preparation for the parish meeting which will be for all parishes. St. John’s, St. Mary’s and St. Mary’s and St. Finnan’s. This will take place on Wednesday the 25th of September at 7pm in St. Mary’s chapel house.
