Leigh Deanery DAY of REFLECTION & DISCUSSION
An open Day for anyone in the Leigh Deanery Saturday 8th December 10 am - 4 pm (lunch will be provided) Holy Family Parish Hall, Boothstown Instead of reacting to a developing situation, we are trying to plan for the future. But to be able to do that, priests and people need to reflect together on four crucial questions : What is the Church for? What is the role of the Eucharist? What do we understand by the word Œparishı? What might be a way forward for the churches in this area? This is an important day for each parish in the deanery. Everyone is welcome . . . (catholics practising or not), Christians from other Churches, people from other Community groups. If you are able to come along, please sign the list at the back of church. Many Thanks.
