Register with Eventbrite

Join us for an online gathering for everybody in the Diocese of Westminster (and our friends!) to share our experiences of the pandemic so far, provide a vision of hope and offer some practical direction for the year ahead. Our invited speakers will help us reflect on the impact the pandemic has had on our personal lives, our faith community and our pastoral practice.

What are the implications for our social justice-building and peace-making activity?

What have we learnt? Where do we go next?

Speakers helping to facilitate the Forum include Anna Gavurin (Caritas Food Collective), Dr Pat Jones (Catholic Social Teaching Researcher), Fr Richard Nesbitt (Parish Priest, Our Lady of Fatima, White City, London) and Fr Paschal Uche (Assistant Priest, St James the Less & St Helen, Colchester). Chair: Fr Dominic Robinson SJ (Chair of Westminster Justice & Peace). Summariser: Liam Allmark (Head of Public Affairs, Catholic Bishops Conference of England & Wales).
