SYNOD 2021 – 2023:
SYNOD 2021 – 2023: A couple of weeks ago, we listened to the Archbishop’s Pastoral Letter on the Synod, which invited us to pray, discern and submit our comments on three essential aspects of the life and work of the Church, namely Communion, Participation and Mission. The Synod, launched by Pope Francis, is an unprecedented opportunity for every parishioner to submit their positive and constructive views on these three issues. Three parishioners have been appointed by our Parish Priest to be our delegates. They are John Kirwan, Eugene Onobhayedo and Joseph Tomson. These delegates will collaborate with our Priests to facilitate our participation in the Synodal pathway process of the Archdiocese. Further information will be communicated to every parishioner.
