Patron for our Pastoral Area  
The bishop will choose a patron for our Pastoral Area (PA) from three proposed to him. The patron must be a title of God or Our Lady. The PA clergy plan in the new year to propose the following three patrons: (1) Christ, the Light of the World; (2) Christ, the Bread of Life and (3) Mary, Mother of the Church. Please do let the clergy or parish office know your thoughts.
