ARDAGH AND CLONMACNOIS DIOCESAN ASSEMBLY 2020 - Call for submissions   Have your views on what are the most important issues facing the church in the coming years and how it should respond? Would you like these views to be considered in the preparation for a diocesan assembly which will take place in Longford on 9th / 10th May 2020. Some 250 delegates - lay people, religious and clergy - representing the diocese of Ardagh and Clonmacnois will gather then to agree on a direction for the diocese for the coming years.   After an initial meeting the delegates are now engaged in a listening and consultation process in their local areas to identify what the priority issues for the Assembly should be.  The results of this process will be summarised and presented at the next delegate meeting in November. There a decision will be taken on what priority issues will be brought to the Assembly. Interested individuals and groups, whether part of the church or not, are invited to forward submissions. Please tell us what issue you think should be a priority for the Diocesan Assembly and why. Please keep your submission to one page and forward before the 26th of October to assembly@ardaghdiocese.org
