Diocesan Synodal Contacts

The Board of Trustees are committed to supporting the call to synodality from Pope Francis. We wish to support and encourage participation of all the People of God in this important process. We have compiled a set of details for each of the dioceses of England and Wales giving information that is in the public domain. The information below is the basis for helping people to become engaged in the conversations that are starting across the dioceses. It is ,however, only a start. We will hope to publish information from dioceses as the synodal process moves forward – dates for training, resources to support the synodal process or listening events. 

This work of encouraging participation is a goal shared by others and we invite other associations and movements to disseminate this information through their networks.
