Upcoming Events in the Diocese of Nottingham and Nearby Parishes

Updated: 3 days ago

Mission Lab
Mission Lab is a new series of monthly inspirations for parish evangelisation and outreach, a space to discover great ideas and support to put them into practice.  Each session will showcase how parishes around the diocese are building vibrant, outward-facing Catholic communities.  Sessions take place online at 7pm; sign up for the first one, which is on Tuesday 20th May: Welcomers and welcoming.  First impressions count: they can make the difference between keeping a newcomer and losing them.  How can we ensure everyone who comes to our parish has a welcoming experience and feels they belong?  Join Caritas and Adult Formation to hear from parishioners from Buxton and Glossop how they do it there.  Sign up at:
