Synod news
The parish phase of the worldwide Synod taking place at the moment wants to reach beyond the regular congregations.
We need to provide opportunities for those who are no longer active participating members of the Church.
In the Archdiocese of Cardiff there will be an evening of discussion open to all from across South East Wales and Herefordshire. It will take place on Tuesday 8 February 7pm – 8.30pm via Zoom. Register by emailing fbcallus@aol.com.
Please pass this information on – asking what do YOU think of the Catholic Church?
Have you walked away from the Church?
Do you have issues with the Church’s teachings?
We need to hear from you. Pope Francis has asked for the Church to listen. We want you to be heard.
