Our Parish Vision
“To be a growing, shining example of love and service to God, the community and one another through Jesus Christ”
Our vision expresses the kind of parish we hope to become: a welcoming, prayerful and outward-looking community in which everyone is encouraged to share their gifts and take part in the life and mission of the Church.
Walking together
Our work reflects the Church’s wider journey of synodality. Synodality simply means walking together: listening prayerfully to God, listening attentively to one another and discerning where the Holy Spirit may be leading us.
It is an invitation for everyone to participate in the life of the Church and to help us consider how we can live out our faith more fully within our parish and the wider community.
Our Parish Vision Team
Father John has brought together a small team of parish group leaders and representatives from across our diverse parish community.
The Parish Vision Team meets to pray, listen and explore how we can begin putting our vision into action. The team does not have all the answers; its role is to help begin the conversation and ensure that the voices, experiences and gifts of the whole parish are welcomed.
Putting our vision into action
Together, we are beginning to explore:
How we can continue to grow as a welcoming and inclusive parish
How we can support and serve one another
How we can reach out to people within our wider community
How parishioners can become more involved in parish life
How we can recognise and celebrate the different gifts, cultures and experiences within our parish
How we can place prayer, love and service at the heart of everything we do
Have your say
Our parish vision belongs to all of us, and we would love you to be part of the conversation.
We will be holding an open parish meeting where everyone will be invited to share their thoughts, hopes and ideas. Further details will be published here and announced in the parish newsletter when the date has been confirmed.
In the meantime, you are warmly invited to share your thoughts with the Parish Vision Team using the form below.
