Building Hope – Pastoral Strategic Planning Resource 2025-2027 was launched on 25 September by the Archbishop at a dedicated Planning Workshop for Bishop Roche’s Pastoral Area at Johnstown Killiney. Archbishop Farrell’s recent Pastoral Letter ‘Building Hope with Open Hearts’ reminds us that ‘Our faith calls us to open our hearts, not only to renewing our own commitment to Christ but to rediscovering our parishes and partnerships of parishes as places of mission.’
The Holy Family Parish Pastoral Council discussed Building Hope Pastoral Strategic Planning Resource 2025-2027 (Guide- Book from the diocese) on Thursday, 17 October. You will hear more about this in the near future.
The Archbishop’s pastoral letters and homilies are on the diocesan website www.dublindioceese.ie
