For a Synodal Church: Communion,
Participation and Mission
A two-year 'synodal' process is taking place
across the Catholic Church.
This is an important moment in the life of the world Church,
with Pope Francis calling us all to reflect on the theme “For
a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission.”
The Pope is inviting us to take this journey
together. As the Preparatory Document for the Synod expresses,
“This path of walking together is the most effective way
of manifesting and putting into practice the nature of the Church
as the pilgrim and missionary People of God.”
The Arcaid AGM was held on Monday November 29th. For a full

As we celebrate the feast
day of Saints Timothy and Titus we are reminded of the gift of
Confirmation we have received.
St. Paul reminds Saint Timothy in our reading
today at Mass
in this way -
“That is why I am reminding
you now
to fan into a flame the gift
that God gave
you when I laid my hands on you .”
Let us all hear St. Paul’s reminder about
our Confirmation.
The Bishop came and laid his hands on us and
told us that we were sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.
He anointed us with the oil of Chrism as he said - be sealed with
the gift of the
Holy Spirit.
Remember! Remember we are Confirmed Christians,
we have God the Holy Spirit within us, let us ask the Holy Spirit
to make us Christians who are joyous
and happy.
