    Having reflected on our individual and communal experiences, the group has reflected on who we are in light of our faith and catholic social teaching background and has come up with the following statements summarising where we stand in the midst of this pandemic:  

    We stand with the vulnerable and the most disadvantaged

    We stand with health care workers, overseas students, asylum seekers and all those who are disadvantaged and marginalised

    We stand for connecting as a parish community, for understanding and acceptance of each other and for recognising our differences, our strengths, our weaknesses, and our needs

    We stand with the parish community and those beyond the parish who are vulnerable and in need

    We stand for connecting with people through prayer and spirituality, and positive energy

    We stand to create an atmosphere of trust so people can voice their vulnerabilities

    We stand for an inclusive and non-judgemental parish

    We stand for a community that provides connection, communication and education, (particularly during this time of isolation)

    We stand for creative and fruitful ways of reaching out to all our neighbours

    We stand for being God’s creation, caring for our environment and being good stewards for future generations

    We stand in solidarity with others, their circumstances, challenges, and needs

    We stand for Jesus' preferential option for the poor

    We stand for Jesus, the faithful Jew who taught us about hope and compassion

    We stand for the stranger, to reach out to all in need across our communities

    We stand for faith in Jesus and the one who walks towards us in difficult times


    These experiences and reflections on where we stand will form the basis for the renewed social justice platform across our parishes.
