Parish Stewardship Initiative Part 3

By Chris Moore • January 15, 2025
A Parish Stewardship Initiative encourages parishioners to reflect on the blessings they have received from God and, in thanksgiving, return a portion of the gifts of time, talent and treasure allotted to them. So, please think about sharing the talents that God has given each of us, for example skills and gifts to do certain things well, so that we can use them for the good of the parish and for others. On the newsletter (19th January 2025) there is an appeal for people to join the team to help with preparing the flowers displayed in the Church. Over the coming weeks, there will be further requests for people to help with church cleaning, reading at Mass, welcoming, serving tea and coffee and much more. Please pray and think about how you could contribute your skills and talents.

Receiving the Synod

By Chris Moore • December 7, 2024
RECEIVING THE SYNOD: What happens in our parish? The 3-year 'Synod on Synodality', one of the most important events in the life of the modern Church, has concluded at the end of October with a big assembly of bishops and others in Rome. It was an important event in the life of the church, but we might wonder what difference it makes, and if it matters to us at all. One of the ‘experts’ at the assembly, Dr Austen Ivereigh, will help our parishes receive the fruits of the synod in two separate sessions at Hedley Lodge, Belmont Abbey. The first session held on Saturday, 23rd November explained the reason for the synod and what it means for our future. For those unable to attend, a recording of the talk is available below. https://youtu.be/claRVlSqFpA The next session will be aimed at discussing how to implement the Synod in our parishes. It will be held on Saturday 18th January 2025, from 10.00am to 4.00pm in Hedley Lodge, Belmont Abbey. Please bring a packed lunch - tea and coffee will be available.
This Hereford parish is part of the Herefordshire Catholic Deanery within the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia. Our Archbishop, the Most Rev Mark O'Toole was appointed bishop on 20th June 2022 by His Holiness Pope Francis.

About Our Parish

"Dare to dream big dreams..."

Pope Francis teaches us that the youth of today must not live in fear, but must strive to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship should be a foundation for our younger generation to "dare to dream big dreams" with confidence and without fear.
