Synod for the Parish

Webmaster • October 11, 2021

We have taken the next step towards discerning a synodal pathway for our parishes. Last Sunday we held our 1st Parishes in Council Meeting. Both parishes were represented. Our time of prayer and reflection on both chapter 2 of Acts of the Apostles and the responses

from our survey proved fruitful.

It is clear that the aspirations of many of us are filled with a desire for a hopeful and bright future

for our Catholic communities here in Gorseinon and Pontarddulais.


Each of us has been graced by our Heavenly Father's and Jesus' Life Giving Holy Spirit.

As the Lord and Giver of Life the Holy Spirit naturally resonates within us and give rise to these desires and hope.

Let us therefore continue to prayer to Him to open up the pathway we need to walk

in raising up a new generation of believers from among those we live along side.

Please Write to Your MP Archbishop Mark has spoken out on the return of the Assisted Suicide Bill to Parliament: "It is immensely disappointing that the Bill to legalise assisted suicide is being re-introduced to Parliament. It does nothing to uphold the dignity of every person, or encourage investment in good palliative care, which is the best way to accompany those facing challenging situations at end of life." The Bill will have its Second Reading and vote on Friday 11th September. Please take a few minutes this week to write to your MP and make your opposition heard - even if you've written before, please write again.
