"Even the winds and sea obey Him"Between February and May 2025, fifteen Families of Parishes in the diocese will host three one-and-a-half-hour sessions (one has already completed their sessions) focusing on these key themes:
- Week 1: Baptism: Gateway to the Faith Community
- Week 2: Eucharist: Nourishment for Mission
- Week 3: Review of the Families of Parishes
Dates are yet to be announced and the meetings in each family of parishes will include a number of parish representatives.
The next phase was discussed at a meeting attended by some Barryroe parishioners held at the Butlerstown Community Centre on Friday 3 January. The meeting was a relaying of what had happened at an informative regional meeting in Fernhill before Christmas at which Barryroe was very well represented by those in leadership positions in the parish.
The next phase consisting in the three meetings will focus on helping parish representatives be up-skilled and prepared for reflecting on the mission of the church in the present world, with the three topics given by Bishop Fintan.
