"......we are all in lockdown and cannot join together. Please do not make any decisions until this can be achieved."

"We don’t want to loose our parish community ...."

"I believe the laity in the parishes need to be centrally involved in any proposed restructure...."

Every church needs their priest..... Please give each parish a choice on what works best for their parish.."

".....Please reconsider your plans for us to worship at our Churches. Please don’t deny us our faith! "

I can't believe that this plan is removing an important sacrament as Confetion And reducing to one the Sunday Mass, plus removing masses on week days

".......why would the church engage in such action ........."

"...... reducing the proximity and availability of priests can only worsen the numbers leaving the Church. .."

Thank you I agree with all that you have said.

".... requires much more communication, dialogue and input with, and from clergy and lay faithful... participation has been made all the more difficult in the current climate....."

"These changes...... are being made at a most inappropriate time....given the current Covid situation.

This should be discussed by parishioners..... involving so many people. We should have a say...."

"Such radical changes proposed and no consultation with the parishioners! It is hurtful, dismissive....."

I am opposed to the restructuring of our Catholic Parishes as proposed....."

"I had never even heard of this until I was messaged by others......"

"..Please do not do this. We need our parish priests, ....the abundance of our churches with weekly masses,......."

Don't mess with perfection

Letter will follow

"There has been little time for consultation at our parish level. The faithful have been excluded from this discernment process up to this stage...."
