SYNOD NATIONAL SYNTHESIS:
The Catholic Church in England and Wales has been following the Synodal Process called by Pope Francis, reflecting on the theme “For a Synodal Church: communion, participation, mission” and has now reached an important moment. Since October 2021, the dioceses, national organisations and religious communities have been engaged in listening conversations on the central themes, exploring the way the Church embraces more fully her missionary mandate in the world of today. The Bishops thank everyone for their contribution to this stage.
#Liverpool4Ukraine.
Earlier this week six volunteer drivers arrived at the Ukraine border to deliver essential aid to Bishop Gregory. A video of COO Martin Miller interviewing Bishop Gregory Komar can be watched below
This trip would not have happened without the generous donations from our parishioners, we are still welcoming donations. More details can be found here: www.liverpoolcatholic.org.uk/ukraine-support.
