Parish communications survey

Following the launch of the new Mission Plan, Go Make Disciples in December 2020, the Sydney Centre for Evangelisation (SCE) is planning a series of workshops to support parishes across the Archdiocese of Sydney in the great work you’re already doing in communications as outposts of the Great Commission, making disciples who bear fruit for God (Romans 7:4).

You’ll find the Mission Plan and a summary version online at this address: www.gomakedisciples.org.au
