St Wilfrids Roman Catholic Church, Northwich
Parish Mission 2010
St. Wilfrid’s Parish Mission
10th – 25th April 2010
Together with
Sion Catholic Community for Evangelism
A Mission is:
- A time to pray
- A time to take stock
- A time to celebrate our faith
- A time to build community
- A time to look forward
Sion Community (founded in 1984 by Fr.Pat Lynch, a priest of the Nottingham Diocese) works at the centre of the Church under the authority of the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales. They are made up of Priests, Religious and lay people who are committed to proclaim the Gospel in an encouraging and challenging way. They work with the parish before, during and after the Mission to help us to discover the gifts God has given us in service of others and to share our faith.
They use a variety of means to proclaim the good news of the Gospel in ways that are relevant to our times. This is what is meant by evangelisation – the good news of Christ for today.
