Synod on the Family
In January 2014, many people in the Diocese of Tuam participated in the consultation that took place in advance of the Synod on the Family. The first part of the Synod took place in Rome last October. Following that meeting a summary document was published. This document is available at http://www.tuamarchdiocese.org/2015/02/synod-on-the-family-consultation
Archbishop Neary is now inviting the people of the diocese to respond to the summary document. If you or a group you represent wish to offer feedback on the summary document you may do so in writing and send it to The Diocesan Secretary, Archbishop's House, Tuam, Co. Galway or email admin@tuamarchdiocese.org. Deadline for submission of feedback is March 6th.
