Do you have something you’ve always wanted to suggest about the Church in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains? This Saturday is the first of six events which give you the opportunity to speak with Bishop Vincent and other members of our Church about your ideas.
Over the next six weeks, Bishop Vincent is travelling throughout the Diocese and listening directly to people’s stories and suggestions.
Everyone is invited to come along to one of six meetings, starting this Saturday at 6.30pm at St John XXIII Catholic College, Stanhope Gardens, to meet Bishop Vincent and listen and talk with others.
It is part of the synodal process that the Diocese of Parramatta is embarking on which aims to steer a course for the Church in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains into the future.
Each session will be facilitated and covers the areas of communion, participation and mission.
The sessions begin with a chance to mingle with others over light refreshments before the program begins at 7.30pm.
