Synodal Pathway background and documents:

In his recent pastoral letter Cardinal Vincent introduced the Synodal Pathway. Pope Francis has asked every parish and diocese to follow this pathway over the next few months. It is an opportunity for us to listen to each other, to journey together, and to ask the Holy Spirit to guide us forward as the church.

The Participant’s Guide and prayer card are below. Please read them carefully and thoughtfully so that you can reply to the questions either by posting your responses using the form below in the box at the back of church, attending a group discussion (dates to be confirmed), or emailing your replies direct to clarkefamily2004@yahoo.co.uk
