The Finchale Partnership will be contributing to the views of the Diocese, and the whole church, leading to the Synod of Bishops in October 2023. To help us bring together the views of the Partnership you are invited to a meeting where you will be able to hear about the discussions in each of our parishes, and you’ll have the chance to share your own views too. This will help us to prepare the summary we need to send to the Diocese. The meeting will be at 7.00pm on Thursday 3rd February. Due to the current COVID situation we will be meeting on Zoom and the joining details are available in your parish Facebook Group or from margaretdoyle1066@sky.com. If you aren’t able to attend an on-line meeting you can still contribute your views, by contacting Katie Flood on youth.durhammartyrs@rcdhn.org.uk

Pope Francis has called for a Synod of the world-wide Catholic Church to commence in October 2021 and culminating with a General Assembly of all the Bishops in October 2023. For more information on what a Synod is, why it is being held, the purpose and for future posts about how we will be responding at parish level please see the following page of the website:
