Fit for Mission? The Bishop’s Decisions

Bishop Patrick O'Donoghue has written his last pastoral letter to the people of the Diocese of Lancaster which can be found here. The Pastoral Letter contains the Bishops decisions for Fit For Mission?

Decisions for the Fleetwood Parishes are as follows;

The Parishes of St Mary, Fleetwood (Listed church), St Wulstan, Fleetwood, and St Edmund, Fleetwood (St Wulstan, Fleetwood presently linked with St Edmund Fleetwood)
Sunday/vigil Mass to continue at St Edmund, Fleetwood and the parish will remain linked with St Wulstan, Fleetwood – Mass will continue at St Edmund, Fleetwood for as long as the congregation there makes this arrangement sustainable.
Sunday/vigil Mass to continue at St Mary, Fleetwood and St Wulstan, Fleetwood. It is likely that there would be an eventual merger of the parishes of St Wulstan, Fleetwood, and St Edmund, Fleetwood, early in the next decade. Eventually, however, this new parish may need to merge with St Mary, Fleetwood, (Listed church) Collaboration between these three parishes must increase.

The Full version of the Pastoral Letter & the Bishops decisions can be found on the Diocesan website http://www.lancasterdiocese.org.uk/
