2009: Spiritual Renewal

We're entering a second year of our Right Onward experience. This year, our purpose is to praise, to proclaim, to celebrate, and this year, to claim the vision which is ours by the gift of the Holy Spirit, by the victory of Christ, by the will of God.

We began with Vision Vespers, a diocesan-wide service on 31 January 2009 at Trinity Cathedral.  (If you couldn't attend the service, download the booklet, which includes ideas and resources for incorporating vision in your parish community.)

As we head into the autumn, we offer a series of retreats, focussed on growing in the spirit.
