Saturday, November 27, 2021, 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM Following on from our Diocesan Synod and after consulting the Council of Priests, Bishop John has decided to re-constitute our Diocesan Pastoral Council (DPC) as the ordinary means of consultation with the lay faithful of the Diocese. Under authority of the Bishop, the DPC studies and weighs those matters which concern the pastoral works in the diocese, and proposes practical conclusions concerning them. The first meeting of the Diocesan Pastoral Council takes place in St. Mirin's Cathedral Hall on Saturday 27th November from 10am - 3.30pm. Each parish has been asked to nominate a representative on to this Council to ensure that it is fully representative of the whole diocese.
