About the team

Lisa Bright and Richard McMahon from Synodal Consulting have been engaged to support the Parish with the development and implementation of our Pastoral Community Renewal plan. Relevant information gathered during previous consultations, such as the Pastoral Council Review, Diocesan review and the forums held for the 2022-27 Strategic Plan, has been shared with them and will be considered during the renewal.

Other ways to be part of the team

The role of the Animator is a vital one through which people who are enthusiastic about sharing the message of renewal within their own networks and circles of friends – small or large – receive support and able to get involved in a concrete way at this initial stage. Several people have already expressed interest in being an Animator (and you can still add your name to the list). In small or big ways, renewal involves everyone!
