Last week we advised that a group were working through a discernment process to identify from 44 nominations the 13 people from our parish who would participate at the Synod in person.
We are all invited to participate.
To find out how see the Participation Booklet on the Archdiocese website.
Information is also available on our Synod 2017 page.
Thank you very much for your nominations. At the same time we thank you for making our job so difficult!
The Archdiocese had set demographic and personal criteria which our selection needed to reflect–including ages, ethnicity and being prayerful and discerning. With so many good candidates, it was difficult to arrive at a final thirteen. However relying on prayer, we have submitted the following who have agreed to go – we appreciate them taking up this challenge.

Participants at the Synod in September will not represent the Parish. They become members of the Synod, and the good of the whole Archdiocese–and all its parishes–is their focus and responsibility
