PARISH SYNODAL MEETING 2022

In the future our Parish groups want an inclusive and consultative Church.

MISSION :

• Ecumenism to be encouraged by sharing Bible studies, including the Alpha Course and asking University chaplains to draw on the religious diversity of their universities.
• We should be more focused on the Gospels and Scriptures.
• The Church needs a different approach to be able to reach the marginalised, the poor, the homeless and all those excluded.
• The process of decision-making needs to include the laity, both Women and Men and emphasize the importance of Environmental Sustainability.

PARTICIPATION :

• Encourage Spokespeople for the Church, usually clerics, to listen and consult with their community before arriving at their decisions.
• Nominations for the Parish Council should be advertised in the Parish Bulletin and parishioners to be personally and publicly encouraged to take up positions. New appointees to be welcomed and blessed at Mass.
• All lay ministries and committees to be listed on the Parish website with an email link to co-ordinators.
• Facilitate communication between all groups to encourage more involvement and discussion.
• Dates and times of Council and Committee meetings should be listed on the Parish website.
• A mechanism (a suggestion box) is needed to allow issues and topics to be discussed.

COMMUNION :

• Mass is too doctrinal and should relate more to the present life of parishioners.
• Liturgy needs to be more inclusive. Women, who form the majority in the Church and who show a “Jesus” like approach to their faith, should play a more central role in the Church.
