SYDNEY — Prompted by difficulties and the need for periodic examination and revitalization the Diocese of Antigonish is embarking on a period of self reflection as it determines pastoral direction for a five year period.

In a letter issued to the Cape Breton Post and other media, Bishop Brian Dunn outlined the reasons for and goals of “Rebuilding My People — The Church: Diocesan Renewal 2013.”

“The recent events that have touched every person in our diocese have led to a great deal of reflection upon the church’s need to bring justice, compassion, healing, hope and new life to the people of God,” Dunn wrote.

“I am asking that all Catholics participate in this diocesan project, knowing that we all have a voice to achieve colloboration, co-responsibility, healing and direction for our diocesan family.
