Unfolding God's Plan​: Our parish response

Picture

  • Our parish response to Archbishop Bernard's invitation begin to be explored at an open parish meeting on 7th July, 2021. A report on the meeting was contained in the parish newsletter for the following Sunday.
  • One of the next steps is to help reflect on issues and opportunities related to each of the four headings. These - or extracts from them - will be reflected on in parish reading groups. These will begin in September 2021.

    Evangelisation: Evangelium Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel) Pope Francis
    Formation: Christifideles Laici (vocation and misison of the Lay Faithful) Pope John Paul II; Priority of Adult Formation; Directory for Catechesis (not yet available on-line, but published by CTS and good Catholic bookshops)
    ​Liturgy and Worship: Sunday Mass - a document from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles
    Social Outreach: Fratelli Tutti (On Fraternity and Social Friendship) Pope Francis - (FT parish discussion documents)

​More details in the parish newsletter, nearer the time.

The Way of Communion - an opportunity to deepen knowledge/skills in Catholic Liturgy, Worship and Prayer.‘Liturgy and Worship’ is one of the four priorities singled out in Archbishop Bernard’s Pastoral Vision that informs and guides the current work of looking at how we work now to prepare more solid foundations for the Church in Birmingham in coming decades. It is also the focus of the ‘Prayer and Liturgy Directory’ recently issued for Catholic Schools, Academies and Colleges in England and Wales.


Ordained ministers have had the opportunity to be introduced to what the Liturgy and Prayer of the Church asks of them. It is rare for anything very much to be made available to Lay ministers – yet in our changing circumstances lay ministers are likely to be invited – or simply need – to take more responsibility for the preparation and leading of times of prayer, acts of worship, and celebration of the Liturgy in their communities – parishes, schools, religious communities, etc.


The Way of Communion is offered to help ministers be introduced to the Church’s tradition and expectations in this area – and provide a simple safe and relaxed forum for discussion and learning.
