Autumn 2023 Plenary Resolutions from the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales:

• Synod on Synodality - Steps towards renewal 1: “Echoing
our Holy Father’s sentiments, we invite every parish,
school, and community to look anew at how the
adoration of the Lord, not least through Eucharistic
Adoration, and the service of the Lord in people in need,
can be better connected and reinvigorated. This deeper
relationship with the Lord will enable us to embrace what
emerges from the second part of the Synod Assembly
taking place in October 2024.”

• Synod on Synodality - Steps towards renewal 2:

“Following Pope Francis’s invitation, we invite Catholics in
England and Wales to consider these questions - see the
noticeboard in Church - as an intermediate step towards
taking an active part in the synodal renewal. With the
Lord Jesus at the centre, our pathway is one of joyful faith
which seeks to bring the Gospel alive in daily life.”
• Environmental Concerns: “[We] welcome Pope Francis’s
Apostolic Exhortation, Laudate Deum. We ask Catholics to
consider how they can respond to the Pope’s urgent call
to action by deepening their relationship with Christ and,
through doing so, resolve to undertake and promote
practical action to respect and nurture God’s creation and
the natural world” (abbreviated).
• Shrine of St Winefride, Holywell: “[We] approve the
elevation of the Diocesan Shrine of St Winefride, Holywell
to the status of National Shrine for England and Wales.”
St Winefride: Pray for us.
• National Eucharistic Congress: “[We] commit to
supporting the National Eucharistic Congress at Oscott
College in September 2024, encouraging at least one
coach to attend from each diocese.”
• Conflict in Israel and Gaza: “…we deplore and condemn
the barbaric terrorist attacks perpetrated in Israel on 7th
October 2023. We weep for the innocent victims of
violence, especially the children, whose lives are
traumatised by the escalation of violence in the region.
We pray earnestly that the regional instabilities created
will not lead to a wider conflict, fuelled by anti-Semitism,
xenophobia and terrorism.”
Related news: The Bishops of England and Wales have asked
the Vatican to name St John Henry Newman a Doctor of
the Church. St John Henry Newman: Pray for us.

Let us pray for:

• Persecuted Christians across the world.
• All in our parishes preparing for the Sacraments of First
Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation.
