The Listening Process Easter 2019 Cashel & Emly Listening Process Follow-Up The Listening Process has been completed throughout Cashel & Emly. We have now prepared a detailed ‘Diocesan Listening Process Report and next steps – a discussion document’ (Report) – click here to download. During March / April we introduced the Report to parish groups at six Gatherings of Parishes throughout the diocese. In view of its detail and out of respect for the contributions of those who participated in the Listening Process all parish groups have been invited, in preparation for similar gatherings in May, to reflect upon the Report in the coming weeks with the following questions; 1. Your response to the report? 2*. (a) How can we, as a parish, use this discussion document to inform and guide us in planning and action – next immediate steps? 2*. (b) How can we, as a diocese, use this discussion document to inform and guide us in planning and action – next immediate steps? 3. What might be needed to support these next steps? At the next Gatherings of Parish Groups in May we plan to receive / discuss feedback on the questions above from parish groups and issue the Parish Listening Process Reports as follows; Wednesday, May 8th 2019 – Parishes of Thurles, Borrisoleigh & Ileigh, Drom & Inch, Loughmore & Castleiney, Templemore, Clonmore & Killea, Templetuohy & Moyne and Upperchurch & Drombane.– Templemore Arms @ 8.00pm Tuesday, May 14th 2019 – Parishes of Fethard & Killusty, Clerihan, Ballingarry, Drangan & Cloneen, Gortnahoe & Glengoole, Killenaule & Moyglass and Mullinahone – Fethard Ballroom @ 8.00pm Wednesday, May 15th 2019 – Parishes of Hospital & Herbertstown, Galbally & Aherlow, Ballylanders, Emly, Kilbehenny & Anglesborough, Kilteely & Dromkeen, Knockaney & Patrickswell, Knocklong & Glenbrohane and Pallasgreen & Templebraden – Galbally Hall @ 8.00pm Thursday, May 16th 2019 – Parishes of Cashel & Rosegreen, Boherlahan & Dualla, Clonoulty & Rossmore, Golden & Kilfeacle, Holycross & Ballycahill, Knockavilla & Donaskeigh, Moycarkey, Two-Mile- Borris & Littleton and New Inn & Knockgraffon – Holycross Community Hall @ 8.00pm Tuesday, May 21st 2019 – Parishes of Tipperary, Anacarty & Donohill, Bansha & Kilmoyler, Cappawhite, Lattin & Cullen and Solohead & Oola – Marian Hall, Tipperary @ 8.00pm Wednesday, May 22nd 2019 – Parishes of Murroe & Boher, Ballina & Boher, Ballinahinch & Killoscully, Ballybricken & Bohermore, Caherconlish & Inch St. Laurence, Cappamore, Doon, Kilcommon, Hollyford & Rearcross and Newport, Birdhill & Toor – The Millennium Centre, Caherconlish @ 8.00pm.
