The Diocese is our churches, our schools, our agencies and our chaplaincies. But they are much more than bricks and mortar, they are communities where God’s Spirit dwells, and they are communities of people that support each other to grow into that which God has made them to be. The Diocese is also comprised of the boarder communities in which we live and work. Our Mission Plan will guide the living out of mission across parishes, schools, agencies, and chaplaincies to support the mission we are all engaged in, and be a source of inspiration for the mission in which they long to be involved.
How you can get involved
Helping us to inform this Mission Plan is as easy as talking, thinking, and praying.

PRAY
Please include the Mission Plan and those involved in the process in your prayers.
Come, Holy Spirit!
Give us new confidence in your grace,
new words for the mission we share,
new strength to go where you send us,
new spring in our step, as we set out
to spread our faith in changing times,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
