Spread the Gospel – Developing a Missionary Parish (SGDMP)

Webmaster • February 6, 2023

I followed the SGDMP Programme back in 2021 and found it very impressive and worthwhile. That is why I have chosen it as something for the parish to follow during Lent this year. I hope that many of you will participate. The new Programme will remind participants of the Great Commission and the basic Gospel message. It will cover a rudimentary history of the early church and will consider important messages from recent papal papers, how to give witness testimonies, evangelise non-church going Catholics with practical approaches and tools for building a parish team to evangelise.


The SGDMP Programme is open to all parishioners. It will begin on Wednesday, March 1st in St. Teilo’s Church Hall at 7pm and take place each Wednesday during Lent with the last two sessions after Easter. The programme will be delivered by members of the Diocesan Evangelisation Commission and will involve a presentation from the team aided by small group discussions in breakout rooms in which people can freely share what they think and feel about the topic discussed in the teaching and what it says to them. To enrol for the Programme, please email Madeleine Walters at madeleine.walters@rcadc.org Canon John

A lot of photos and memorabilia were loaned to the parish in preparation for the Parish Century Celebrations last year. All of them have now been sorted and returned to the sacristy at St. Teilo’s. If you did donate any photos etc for the Centenary display, please pick them up from the sacristy after Mass on a Sunday or weekday.

On one of our hottest evenings on Friday, July 10th some 25 brave Dabbers turned up to support the Parish Bingo evening. Angela Massey, her family and the fans (the undulating, not the adulating, kind) brought fun and refreshments. It was a really fantastic effort which raised £120 for Parish funds. Thank you to all who attended, regular and new.
