Our Partnership is Announced

"A partnership is a group of parishes agreeing to work together, to share resources, both human and material, to become stronger and better equipped for furthering the Kingdom of God".Bishop Séamus

As you may have already read and heard, the proposal we submitted was approved with the added bonus of partnering with Sacred Heart, North Gosforth. This is a momentous decision for us all and everyone in our partnership is very excited at the prospect of developing and building our communities together.

There are four partnerships within our Northumberland Vicariate of which all proposals were accepted with ours referenced as Vicaraiate-4 (A4).

The Diocesan FTiH team will be providing further guidance in due course but their immediate ask is that we ‘Think People’. They tell us that:

“…Partnerships are about people, communities and relationships. An important aspect of the early stage of forming a partnership is for people to get to know each other better. Perhaps it is worth thinking about and discussing how you might start to do this across your area …”

So to that end, we will be organising and promoting a number of informal get togethers - hope you can join in - #GodBless+
