The Synodal Core Group commissioned in St. Patricks Cathedral Armagh on 30th June 2021

Synodal Core Group Commissioned

To assist us in this task of organising the consultation and preparation for the diocesan Synodal Assembly a core group from around the diocese was commissioned in the ceremony on the 30th June. The members of the group are predominantly members of the lay faithful, who will work alongside elected members of the diocesan clergy and female and male religious. This group will work together to establish the Synodal process here in the local Church of Armagh, a process, that will hopefully address some of the challenges that lie ahead for all of us who take our faith seriously.

It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium.
