".....The intention may be good but the execution is not. Finally we loose more than what we are trying to gain. Thanks"

"Don’t slip this through during the COVID distraction....."

I strongly agree with this petition 👍

I am very very concerned that such a radical restructure could take place during lockdown without the opportunity for full and frank discussion and disclosure of information....."

"..A major part of Church Life, is the relationships built within the Parish Community...."

"... I strongly disagree with changes, ..... We will lose a lot of faithful community if we change the structure."

I agree, this is not the time to be making seismic changes to our current arrangements and a step back is required.

"....This must be delayed until restrictions are eased. We need to hear the Plenary Council details before we begin this process....."

"...the “Take the Way of the Gospel” program...is being implemented when parish members are unable to gather and discuss the future of their own faith communities...."

Loose the single shepherd we have and henceforth losses his personal attention and commitment.

"....Please halt the process until all the faithful are back & well participating in the Way of the Gospel program...."

"This is highly disturbing....this structure is not meant to build up the faith....wait until the Plenary Council has been properly heard and debated.

"......The laity have contributed to the building of churches and parishes in Melbourne but their voices seem to be disregarded..."

".....I am shocked that this is my first news of this stupendous change........"

".....waiting for the outcomes of the Plenary Council where parish renewal and evangelisation of the faithful are key items on the agenda. ...."

".....All I can most humbly see from the proposed model is an eventual loss of faith or a "break away" altogether to underground worship."

"‘Take the Way of the Gospel’ restructure should not go ahead until restrictions are lifted....."

"...the Arcdiocese should further engage with parishioners.... on the restructure and be informed by the outcomes of the Plenary Council."

"This is a leap backwards... "
