Wellspring
About the Project?
Wellspring seeks to form disciples who are enthused and inspired by our common vision.
This will become the centre piece of all our prayer, missionary outreach and pastoral activity.
Pastoral Letter from
Bishop Joseph Toal
The wellspring project
Imagine a Church
Fully alive with committed witnesses to the great commission to
“go make disciples of all nations”
(Mt28.19)
Filled with engaged Christians whose
“hearts burn within them”,
having encountered the presence of God in their lives
(Lk 24)
Where all (regardless of background) are invited, welcomed and heard.
“Where their dignity as children of God, created in his image and likeness, is always recognised”
(1 Jn3.2); Genesis (1.27).
Where young people live and share their deep love for the Gospel
In which Sunday Mass and the vibrant celebration of Sacraments are a foretaste of the wonder of heaven for all – old, young, regular parishioners and guests
That looks beyond our Church buildings to share the
“the joys and hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of all people, especially the poor”;
bringing the healing love of Jesus Christ
“until the end of time”
(Mt28.20)
