Tuesday 9 September: Neighbourhood impact
Pope Francis called the parish a ‘home among homes’, a ‘field hospital’ and a ‘sanctuary where the thirsty can drink’. It’s a vision for hospitality and care for the body as well as the soul. Many of our churches have halls and flexible meeting spaces – could yours be better used as a place of welcome and service for the local community?
Tracey Carter runs Project St Thomas, the thriving pastoral initiative of the Parish of the Immaculate Conception and St Norbert, Spalding. It began in 2020 with ‘Hub In Hub Out’ which brings soup, sandwich and friendship to those in need, and has branched out to money management for young people, beginners’ IT, community singing, ‘Nutrition and Read’ and more. Find out more at our next Mission Lab and pick up ideas for your own parish.
