The Questionnaire of the Parish on participating in the Synod on Synodality has received an excellent response from those who frequent our Church. The responses have been collated by a team of parishioners. We have a good consensus on many points: for instance almost 100% respondents fully supported the Church’s moral teaching that abortion is murder and hence not acceptable. We have many points in which further discernment is required and this will be done by the Parish Council and also sent to the Community clusters for further prayer and discernment. Thank you for your participation.
