An update on the implementation of the diocesan five-year plan
How can trust and hope be rebuilt in a diocese which is struggling with the sexual abuse by clergy and the victimization of so many?
In October 2013, a diocesan renewal congress, “Renewing My People the Church,” was held at the Membertou Trade and Convention Centre.
Three hundred delegates from parishes across the Diocese of Antigonish approved a five-year diocesan plan for renewal. In December 2013, Bishop Brian Dunn announced the formation of an implementation committee of 20 members — two representatives from each of the seven deaneries of the diocese plus five members-at-large to work with him to implement the strategies and work at “rebuilding trust and hope” in the diocese. Two members, Fr. Andrew Boyd and Cecile Miller, agreed to be co-chairs. The committee has met once a month since December.
