Navan Parish Commissions Pastoral Assembly

As parishes continue the good work of commissioning their Parish Pastoral Assemblies, Bishop Deenihan and Fr Derek Darby, Episcopal Vicar for Pastoral Planning & Development, met with priests and chairpersons from Parish Pastoral Assemblies across the Diocese recently. Bishop Deenihan expressed his deep appreciation for the commitment and time given by members of Pastoral Assemblies to their parishes. He outlined some of the opportunities emerging in the Diocese and invited assemblies to begin exploring ways they can work more collaboratively with their neighbouring parishes, share resources, and support ongoing faith formation and evangelisation to ensure the sacramental life of parishes can be supported and developed.
