UPDATE FROM THE ADVISORY COUNCIL
High on our agenda is ensuring that we continue to find ways in which we can embody the Carmelite charism, and our mission statement in action. Hearing your voice and your ideas and providing opportunities to do so has been an important focus so that we can work together to enrich what we have, into the future.  We promised to keep you informed of our progress and so, to date:
  • We provided an opportunity to engage in a Listening and Dialogue Encounter as part of the preparations for the Plenary Council in 2020, following which we made a submission on behalf of the parish to inform the themes to be addressed at the Plenary Council
  • We established the concept of Carmel Conversations, a series of occasional conversations, opportunities to meet in a relaxed atmosphere and talk about issues pertinent to us as a parish.  Plans are well advanced for a second conversation in the next month, so stay tuned
  • We planned a “whole of community” celebration of our Feast Day. A brochure stating and celebrating who we are as a Carmelite community in Coorparoo was developed and distributed
  • We continue to find our way together as a group at this time in our Church. We hasten slowly, and stay attuned to the Australian church’s preparations and directions which will emanate from the Plenary Council in 2020.
An open invitation exists for each of you to contribute thoughts and ideas, and to provide your prayerful support as together, we work for a vibrant parish into the future.
