Saturday Sessions Top 10 – Bishop Vincent Long OFM Conv

8 January 2021

 

Each week throughout 2020, parishioners in the Diocese of Parramatta were invited to watch a video and discuss their response to a number of questions as part of our popular ‘Saturday Sessions’.

Over the holiday break, we’re replaying some of the most popular videos for you to watch, then use the questions to uncover your own feelings and thoughts about the topic. Feel free to share with others too!


“Envisioning the Church in Western Sydney for the new millennium” – Most Reverend Vincent Long Van Nguyen OFM Conv DD STL, Bishop of Parramatta

About the Presenter:

Bishop Vincent shares his thoughts for envisioning the roadmap for the future of the Church in Western Sydney at the Parramatta Diocesan Forum in July 2019.

This forum brought together key leadership and local representatives from parishes, schools, ministries and agencies.

How do his words reflect our own personal and communal journey? Moving forward, how may the Holy Spirit be calling us to Go Out Into the Deep?
