Archbishop Bernard has invited us all to join with him in exploring a vision for the renewal of the life and mission of the Church in Birmingham.
It is being explored under four headings.
- Evangelisation: Encouraging others to know God’s love for them by inviting them, with our parish, to learn of Jesus and about Jesus – to come to church, to pray and to encounter Christ – helping to form missionary disciples and missionary parishes.
- Formation: Nurturing future Catholic leaders in our churches and schools by providing both spiritual and pastoral formation and support – helping us to play an active role in the parish community – helping us to understand more about our faith so as to deepen our personal relationship with God.
- Liturgy and Worship: Invigorating and deepening our worship and sacramental celebrations so that we share in and reflect the divine life of the Trinity – encouraging others to join us in praying to our Heavenly Father.
- Social Outreach: Building up the common good through our charitable outreach – offering our time, our resources and our love to those who need them most – inviting others to join us in our charitable work.
Please pray for this work; and also consider how you might share your gifts and time to forward this renewal of the Church to respond to the mission entrusted now to us.
