The Year of Parish Renewal 2026 marks a significant pastoral moment for the Archdiocese of Colombo, inviting all parishes to embrace a renewed synodal journey of faith, communion, and mission. Rooted in prayer and discernment, this initiative calls for the strengthening of parish life through family visits, the formation of Parish Pastoral Councils, the growth of Small Christian Communities, and the active participation of the laity in the Church’s evangelizing mission.

Guided by the theme “Behold, I am making all things new” (Rev. 21:5), the Pastoral Letter outlines concrete steps for spiritual and pastoral renewal, encouraging every parish community to journey together with hope, responsibility, and missionary zeal.
