The latest Synod Deanery meeting drew a large crowd to Coffee Saints cafe at St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, last night.
The event was hosted by Sr Anna Marie McGuan and Fr John Deighan, the delegates for the Synodal process in our Archdiocese (pictured below).
The event saw small groups engage in guided spiritual conversations, which were recorded and shared with the organisers. These will form part of the Archdiocesan's final report on the Synod process.
Sr Anna Marie said: “Thanks to everyone who came along last night to listen and contribute to the many spiritual conversations that took place.
"We pray that these deanery meetings will be enriching for the Archdiocese and for the wider Synodal process in Scotland. I’m encouraging everyone to take part in the remaining Synod deanery meetings.”
