Bishop Richard’s Pastoral Plan
Bishop Richard has written a new Pastoral Plan for the Diocese ‘The Word Who is Life: The Call to Mission’. As society becomes more secular our parishes must be ever-clearer beacons of light guiding people to Christ. The new Plan highlights how our community of faith can embrace this important time of renewal, forging diocesan parishes into communities of saints and strong, lively, and welcoming schools of discipleship.
The Pastoral Plan is available to read in two formats below: the full version [18 pages] and an abridged version [10 pages], with hard copies available to read in each parish.
Bishop Richard met with members of clergy in December and will be hosting a Pastoral Plan Webinar for people across our diocesan community on Wednesday 10 January at 7.30pm.
There is no need to register for this event, please use the following the link to join the webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86457734895. All are very welcome to attend.
