A Pastoral Year in Lewisham
The 10 parishes of the Lewisham Deanery are holding a Pastoral Year from the feast of Christ the King 2008 to Christ the King 2009. It will consist of a series of talks, reflections, workshops and prayer with each parish hosting a particular theme. The overall theme is Come and See – honouring the invitation we have all received from Christ. The various activities will be sacramentally based with five key targets in view: (1) Parents (2) Catechists (3) Teachers (4) Youth Leadership and (5) Clergy. We need to keep the initiative in our prayers that the seeds sown across the year will find a welcome home, lead others to Christ and promote a greater understanding of our role as Church.
