This page brings together the background to our pastoral guidelines ‘Called to be a People of Hope’ and many of the publications which are part of our positive planning for the future.

The presentation of our pastoral guidelines ‘Called to be a People of Hope’ took place throughout the diocese in November 2008.

Discussions about the pastoral guidelines for the diocese began in December 2006. Since then all parishes, schools and other groups in the diocese have taken part in the consultation ‘Seeking the Face of Christ’, with over 1500 people coming to the various gatherings around the diocese.
