Our Lady of Hal Church 90th Anniversary
March 6, 2023
Our Church will be 90 on the 18th March 2023
18th March marks the 90th anniversary of the opening and blessing of Our Lady of Hal Church.
Because the date falls in Lent, it has been decided to celebrate our 90 years jointly with the
celebrations for the King’s Coronation in May. This means we will have a special Mass on Sunday
7th May followed by a parish lunch similar to the one we had for the late Queen’s Jubilee last year.
Further details will be available nearer the time. Please keep the 7th May free in your diaries.
TOWARDS THE SYNOD IN OCTOBER 2024 – Let us ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in this process. Come Holy Spirit! As you know there will be a synod of the whole Church in Rome in October 2024. ‘The Lord will guide us and help us to be a more synodal & missionary Church, a Church that adores God & serves the women and men of our time, going forth to bring everyone the consoling joy of the Gospel’ (Pope Francis). ‘Each Christian is a mission on this earth’ and we all have a responsibility to proclaim Christ, not just religious, deacons, priests and bishops. YOUR opinion counts and there will be an opportunity to put your ideas forward. This Sunday a questionnaire is available for you to take home and return completed BY 3RD MARCH. Additionally, at the Sunday Masses on 2nd/3rd March the questionnaire will be handed out again and, during the homily slot, you will be able to write down your ideas. The form will not record your name, it will be anonymous. To start you thinking these will be the questions: Q1: How do we witness as a Parish and proclaim our faith to: a) those who have never heard of Christ? b) those who ceased walking with Christ? c) those with whom we worship Christ (go to church)? Q2: How should we organize ourselves as a parish to do this more effectively? Q3: What concrete steps/formation opportunities would help us begin to witness and proclaim our faith more effectively? Q4: What structures may need to change the way we are organized currently? You are invited to take this opportunity and all the ideas received will be collated and sent to our diocese, and eventually to Rome
