Cluster Pastoral Council Update

Update 26 January 2025

CPC members met in St Gregory’s Hall last Saturday morning to get stuck in to the work of developing a short term pastoral plan for reinvigorating the process of renewal in our parishes, in line with Fr Alex’s vision.

We focused on two topics. First strengthening further our welcome culture, which is critical to growing our faith communities. Second, ongoing adult faith formation, which is central to developing ourselves as disciples. We’ll be having further meetings to discuss other key areas including prayer and the spiritual life, service, liturgy and evangelisation.

As we begin to pull some ideas together, we’ll be reaching out to others in the cluster to help us develop more detailed proposals. The aim is to develop the plan to a point where we can present it to a cluster gathering for comment, further ideas and, we hope, agreement on action to move us forward, once Fr Alex is fully back in action.
