Recent meeting with Bishop Deenihan to discuss parish restructuring.
On Tues 26th Jan the priests of the parishes of the Navan Deanery had a Zoom meeting with Bishop Deenihan to discuss future parish development. Creativity and flexibility will be needed, in consultation with parishioners, to reshape parish and diocesan structures to best serve the pastoral needs of our communities, taking into account the reducing Mass-going population and the reducing number of priests. The possibility of amalgamating parishes, along with other measures to renew our parishes as centres of evangelisation and faith formation, will pose both challenges and opportunities. “The parish is the presence of the Church in a given territory, an environment for hearing God's word, for growth in the Christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration” (Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, 28).
