DID ANYTHING HAPPEN AFTER THE DIOCESAN FORUM?

Remember the Diocesan Forum in November? That great day in All Hallows’ College, Drumcondra, full of buzz and vibrancy. Whatever happened to all those wonderful ideas and proposals that emerged on that day?

Well – if you were there - you will remember that the next stage in the process was for the Archbishop’s Forum Planning Group to take the raw material from the Forum, shape it into fully-formed proposals, and bring them to the Diocesan Councils, with the full weight of the consultative process behind them.

This is what has been happening. Believe it. Since November the Forum Planning Group has held a number of meetings under the chairmanship of Geoffrey Perrin. The finishing touches are currently being put on several quite radical and significant proposals. Each proposal will contain sufficient information, in terms of purpose, objectives, timescale and cost, for a decision to be made on it. When finalised, these will be circulated to members of the Councils, and it is expected that the Councils will meet soon to consider them. Watch this space for further news!
