Commission for Ecumenism and Inter-religious Relations

The Diocesan Pastoral Council has established as one of its strategic directions the fostering of our ecumenical and inter-religious relations.  To address this task a Commission for Ecumenism and Inter-religious Relations was established in 2007, and a Diocesan Ecumenical Officer was appointed.
