Detail from a stained glass window in Skibbereen's St. Patrick's CathedralThe people and clergy of the Diocese of Cork and Ross responded with 111,193 words to questions posed by Bishop Fintan Gavin across the diocese.
That’s 291 pages on standard paper. It’s the feedback from a series of meetings held by the Office for Mission and Ministry of the Diocese as part of what Bishop Fintan had called a year of “Prayer, Listening and Discernment”.
Now the content of these conversations has been collated and analysed and the summaries have been made available online.
No! You won’t need to read 291 pages of text because as Bishop Fintan noted in his pastoral response “There was a remarkable unity across the diocese as to what God is challenging us to do, to work towards and to prioritise for this time.”
