The Bishops of England and Wales have issued an invitation to us all to become involved in the preparations for the October Synod of Bishops called by Pope Francis to look at Marriage and the Family. A text was printed in last week’s newsletter – if you missed your copy, there are still some spares in the porch. The original, complete with colour pictures we couldn’t reproduce, is displayed on the notice board, or you can access it now by downloading this pdf. In the next month we will think about how we can respond to it in the Family of the Parish, maybe as a Lenten exercise.
