The Diocesan Formation Gathering features keynote presentations by Dr Paul Sharkey and six practical workshops offering insights and tools to help parishes grow a deeper sense of welcome and connection among parishioners.
Join us at this special diocesan event to learn, connect and explore why belonging matters, how it shapes the mission of our parishes and the wider Church, and what we can do together to strengthen it.
Keynote presentations will reflect on the place of community and belonging in a Catholic parish:
- Why does belonging matter in today’s culture?
- How does it shape the mission of our parish and the wider Church?
- What can we do, together, to strengthen it?
A choice of six practical workshops will follow (see flyer for details)..
There’ll also be opportunities to share ideas and experiences through:
- round robin dialogues between parishes;
- parish group discussions; and
- plenary conversations with shared reflections.
Registrations close 30 September — secure your place now and be part of shaping the future of our parish communities!
