Opening of the Pastoral Life and Mission Centre

Dear Brother Priests, Deacons, Religious, and Members of the Diocese

I am excited to share the wonderful news that we will soon be opening our new Pastoral Life and Mission Centre, located opposite the Chancery building.

This Centre will be a sign of our commitment to walk together as a diocesan family. Everything that happens within will ultimately be directed outward to provide formation support and pastoral services to our parishes, our clergy, our schools, our ministries and the wider community.

The Pastoral Life and Mission Centre will not simply be an office space, but a mission-focused centre reminding us of who we are as a Diocese and why we exist – to serve the mission of Christ and the people entrusted to our care.

By locating these services together, we hope to strengthen collaboration, to improve accessibility for parishes, and to foster a spirit of shared responsibility, to listen, to connect and to enrich our diocesan life.

The work of the current Office for Evangelisation will be incorporated into
