Diocese of Nottingham
Prepare the Future: workshop 4
Building parishes of welcome, listening and hope
Thursday 18 March 2021
3.00 - 4.30pm on Zoom
People from about 20 parishes gathered for the last Prepare the Future workshop. They found it so useful that we were asked to make it a regular thing. Here is the kind of thing they said after the last one:
- 'Good to hear what others are doing and share our own experiences, and seek advice'
- 'Excellent...meeting us where we are at the moment'
- 'Helps me discern what a way forward for our parish might be'
Among the issues we'll cover at the workshop are the following:
- Establishing a telephone befriending service, as described above
- Developing a toolkit to help you navigate safeguarding, data protection and other requirements
- Building a new census or database for the post-pandemic missionary parish
- Reaching out with minority ethnic and diaspora communities in our parishes
- Exploring a model for mutual aid and practical support for families and individuals, rooted in Catholic social teaching
