Synod on Synodality

Pope Francis has called the universal Church to journey together. This Synod is entitled: “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, and Mission.” This Synod is not just another meeting with people providing presentations and written reports. This Synod is a process of journeying together by listening, dialoguing, praying, discerning and making decisions together for the purpose of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
     Pope Francis is asking each diocese in the world to gather – clergy, religious and laity together – to listen to each other. The goal of this journeying together is not to create a new vision or pastoral plan. The goal of our journeying together is to be present with one another, to listen and learn with each other, and to grow closer to the Lord and His Church, especially as we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Below is the Prayer for the Synod that all of us are called to pray.
