  2. FOUR DIOCESAN PRIORITIES That each person, each community, each parish, Pastoral Area and Deanery, every school and every ministry within the Diocese is called: 1. to seek out and draw in the un-churched and the unbelieving; 2. to develop life-long discipleship, spiritual growth and a living relationship with Jesus Christ, above all, in the Holy Eucharist; 3. to discern the gifts, charisms and vocations
God has given us; and 4. to form and support existing and new ‘creative apostolates’.
