Our Responsorial Psalm invites us to “Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News”. Our Listening Process has identified young parents as a vital group to keep involved and supported, e.g. “young parents to be asked to set up a group to discuss their ideas for the future of the church”, “put some programme in place for new younger families” and “I have a young family and I like to set a positive example for them.”
