LOYOLA CERTIFICATE IN PASTORAL MINISTRY:

During the past year participants in the Loyola Certificate in Pastoral Ministry have been meeting together to consider how they can develop a range of pastoral ministries in the diocese. It is opportune that during this time we have been encouraged by Pope Francis to walk together in a synodal way. Pope Leo is also encouraging us to continue this journey…to be a synodal Church, a Church that moves forward, a Church that always seeks peace, that always seeks charity, that always seeks to be close above all to those who are suffering” (First Blessing, 8 May 2025).  This seems to be a good opportunity to expand this group and invite others who have already been involved in the synodal journey, and those who want to become involved.

If you are interested, please get in touch with Fionnuala or Kevan in the Formation and Mission team and come along to the next meeting, which will be held at the Pastoral Centre and on Zoom, on Friday 7 November 7:00-8:30pm. In the meantime, we recommend that anyone who is interested takes the 4 week School for Synodality Course which is available on their youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/@School-for-Synodality
