WALKING TOGETHER/ SYNODALITY QUESTIONNAIRE. Our parishes response report is available on the  Parish websites with paper copies at Masses this weekend. I suggest that now we wait for the publication  of the diocesan report in early April . Then we can look at how we take this forward at our parishes level  in the light of the themes of the diocesan vision outlined by Archbishop Bernard. Meantime do take a  look at our parish document. Also on Sacred Heart Whats Ap
