27. The Rev Robert Happer asked -

(a) How many vacant parishes including provisional parishes are there within the Diocese?

(b) How long have these respective parishes and provisional parishes been vacant for?

(c) Is it possible to "continually" list both parishes and provisional parishes when they become vacant, thus allowing other parishes to take up their responsibility to pray for their brothers and sisters in a more informed way?

To which the President replied -

I am informed the answer is as follows.

(a) 15 parishes and 7 provisional parishes.

(b) Between 1 week and 21 months.

(c) The suggestion is a good one, and with our new website the list could be made available there.
