A Message from the Diocesan Planning Group

In May 2018, Archbishop Neary established a new Diocesan Planning Group to draw up a plan for the Archdiocese of Tuam for the years 2020 and beyond. The Group has fifteen members, lay and ordained, drawn from all parts of the Archdiocese. To date the Planning Group has listened to experiences of priests who have ministered in various parts of the world including India, Africa, England New Zealand and Canada, as well as having an input from a representative of the dioceses of Killaloe on the recent pastoral developments there. Having listened, the Planning Group has decided to undertake a broad consultation within our own diocese among communities, pastoral councils and priests. It is hoped that this consultation will have made significant progress between now and the autumn and so enable a draft Pastoral Plan for the Archdiocese of Tuam to be drawn up circulated and discussed, and to that end we will be in touch with priests and Pastoral Councils soon.
