Dear parishioners and friends,

The Synod is up and running in our 3 Churches! Our team of Anne Reid, Simon Brockway, Tania Walsh, Pat Williams and Margaret Fegan have started to meet with the various groups within our parishes. This will continue into February, when all parishioners and anyone else interested will have the opportunity to take part in this, the biggest process the Catholic Church has ever undertaken – to listen, to share, to pray and so to plan the future of our Church. Don’t be left out – get involved when the opportunity comes!
