Welcome from Archbishop Ric
A prayerful invitation to listen, reflect and contribute.
Thank you for taking part in Listening in Lent. This is an important moment for us as a Diocese to pay attention to what God is saying, to one another, and to the communities we serve.

Your reflections will help shape our shared discernment as we consider the opportunities and challenges before us. I am grateful for the time you are giving to this process, and for the honesty, wisdom and experience you bring.
My hope is that this survey creates space for reflection – naming what gives you hope, what you long to see renewed, and what kind of church we believe God is forming us to be in the years ahead.

Thank you for contributing to this journey. Please join me in praying that we will listen well and discern faithfully together.
