Synod 2021-2023
In recent months, our Partnership has met to discuss the Synod 2021-2023 just as every area of the Catholic Church throughout the world has done recently. The Final Report, a collation of many reports from the diocese has now been submitted to Bishop Robert. The Bishop will use this to help him gather his report for the England and Wales Conference of Bishops.
