“People are not looking to join institutions. They are looking for meaning, belonging, and purpose.”— Rev. Dr Brendan ReedJoin us with parishes from across the Diocese for a day of inspiration, practical learning, and shared wisdom at the Diocesan Formation Gathering.
Keynote speaker Dr Paul Sharkey will unpack what “belonging” really means in today’s culture — and why it’s vital to our mission as Church. Six workshops will explore welcome and hospitality, inclusion for families and young people, parish-school partnerships, scriptural foundations, and practical strategies from here and abroad.
We’re encouraging parishes to bring a cohort — especially those with a gift for welcome and connection. Let’s build the kind of Church where everyone knows they belong.
Registrations will open on 1 September, so stay tuned.
