An evening of reflection, deep listening and sharing our experience of and desires for church.
Have you heard of synodality but don’t really understand what that means for you or your parish? The evening will involve deep listening practices and shared conversations in the Spirit around our experience of church and our longings for it.
If you attended this session in August 2025 you will be familiar with the questions. This evening session aims to draw further upon these experiences as well as being open to those unable to attend last year.
Synodality in simple terms is the path of spiritual renewal (conversion) and structural reform that enables the Church to be more participatory and missionary so that it can walk with every man and woman, radiating the light of Christ. (n. 28, Final Document)

Celebrating 800 years of St Francis’ Canticle of the Creatures
In 1255, St Francis of Assisi composed his “Canticle of the Creatures”, one of the great hymns to come down to us from medieval times.
This reflection day celebrates the Canticles remarkable mystical insights concerning God’s creation, and its ecological sensibilities so relevant to today.
We believe in the divine gift of love but the challenge is to incarnate this love. Drawing on both the last encyclical from Pope Francis ‘Delixit nos’ – ‘He Loved Us First’ and the practical advice of Dr Gary Chapman in his series ‘Languages of Love’, Fr Iain Radvan SJ will facilitate prayer, reflection and discussion on how we can live the love that originates from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
