Synod on Synodality
There has been great enthusiasm and participation from across the Diocese in becoming a Church of communion, participation and mission!
In January, over 450 clergy, deacons, religious, pastoral staff and ministry leaders participated in 6 pastoral zone consultation process. Their conversations and sharing in the listening sessions contributed invaluable insights into the experiences of our faith community. In the words of one of the leader participants: "This was a great opportunity to reflect on where we are going in this time and age, and ties in with what we are discussing at the parish level, particularly, with how do we show the face of Christ in all we do."
In February, 280 synod leadership team members from 45 parishes and 6 lay associations took part in orientations to prepare and plan for synodal listening sessions throughout the Diocese. Two Catholic School Districts have also begun the synodal listening process with principals, administrators and Board members. The whole Diocesan community is ready for you - come and engage in the spiritual encounter with the Lord and one another, where we pray and listen, discern and share.
