Synodal Pathway Leadership Training – still some availability…

Synodal Pathway Facilitative Leadership Training – A Pilot Programme

From Julieann Moran, General Secretary, Synodal Pathway

Our Facilitative Leadership Training Programme was launched at the beginning of this month. Dioceses and organisations have been registering their nominated candidates but the training may also be of interest to you.

This pilot programme has been developed from the needs analysis carried out by an independent researcher last March. The programme (which includes an overnight residential component) seeks to equip local leaders – clergy, religious, and lay faithful – with the necessary skills to help them embed synodality in the life and mission of the Church in Ireland.

Ideal candidates would be an active member of a Parish Pastoral Council, Diocesan Pastoral Council or Diocesan Synodal Team, or an active member of a Religious Congregation, Ecclesial Movement or Association of Lay Faithful, or a priest, lay pastoral worker, deacon, or religious brother or sister in parish ministry, or an active member of a Council, Commission or Agency of the Irish Bishops’ Conference, or someone actively engaged in a diocesan programme looking at clustering/grouping of parishes

A full outline of the programme which includes the overnight residential component and quarterly follow-up sessions online can be downloaded

Chris McDonnell writing in the Catholic Times comments on the ongoing crisis about abuse; “We cannot avoid the downpour of critical comment that now surrounds us. It is only through our sincere and humble action that we can begin the re-establishment of the credibility of the Christian message.
It will demand a re-examination of structures and disciplines that may have led us down this broken path.”
