These responses formed the basis of the report, which was sent, along with all other parishes, to Southwark Diocese and will be reviewed. Southwark’s response, presented to the Bishop’s Conference of England and Wales will then be collated along with all other Diocese across the country, before submission to Rome.
There were many heartfelt, honest and spiritual responses feeding into the themes of Communion, Participation and Mission. The results also highlighted valued aspects, as well as suggested enhancements specific to Saint Teresa’s. Many of these ‘missing’ or ‘lacking’ areas of parish life were due to COVID-19 and the restrictions it brought. Listed below are some of the areas which were highlighted, and which in due course can be addressed within Saint Teresa’s.
