St Genevieve's High School in Belfast. Eight parish councils took part in the second annual Down and Connor Diocesan Pastoral Council Midsummer evening, which was held at St Genevieve’s High School in West Belfast.
This event, developed as part of the Down and Connor Diocesan Pastoral Plan, was planned to celebrate the contribution of new initiatives to the ‘Living Church’ project, to aid the exchange of ideas and practices between parishes, and to promote contact between members of the Diocesan Pastoral Council and members of Parish Pastoral Councils.
The councils presented pastoral care projects including ones on encouraging better Scripture knowledge, deepening prayer life and the Year of Mercy. They also shared ideas on outreach programmes towards children, youth and older people, and related their experience in promoting safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults.
