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.
