Parishes in Partnership

The snow last week limited the number who came to the meeting of the Councils of our 3 parishes. The friars alas flinched and stayed at home. But reports suggest a useful first encounter of the members of the respective Councils. There are two much opposed views of what the Restructuring means. One sees it as something to be organised from the top down; the other sees it as the business of the whole family of the church, whose views should be crystallised by each Parish Council. The bishop is talking to all his priests on the subject next week.
