Synod
We Stand Before You, Holy Spirit
Participating in the Synod is a spiritual exercise of discernment and listening. Every journey is unique, and the Church wants to know about your journey in all its aspects, whether your experience is good and no matter your views on the Church.
There will be several opportunities to join in this process. There will be live sessions, groupings throughout the ministries, virtual sessions and old-fashioned pen-to-paper. See the reservation form for the January sessions below. You can RSVP for the session of your choice by leaving the completed form in the basket in the church vestibule, or email it to SES_Synod@yahoo.com. You can be part of a group, request a one-on-one session with a delegate or write an anonymous note.
This process is open to all baptized and cannot work without you. Whether you attend daily Mass or have not been inside a church in twenty years, your voice is important and should be heard. It does not matter what you have done or your so-called status in life. When you participate, you are a child of God with something important to share! So, please join us in one of these opportunities.
God bless.
*Please note a change to the schedule:
All January Sessions will be held via Zoom.*

In and Around the Diocese
MADE FOR MORE
World renowned speaker and author Christopher West, along with musician, Mike Mangione, are coming to St Mary with an all-new event called MADE FOR MORE: VISIONS OF THE PROMISED LAND.
Through live music, sacred and secular art, and dynamic presentation, the Made for More event, unfolds key themes of St. John Paul II’s teaching on the human person and human sexuality to illuminate the “sacramentality of the world” – how this physical world reveals the spiritual and divine mysteries that correspond to the deepest questions and longings of the human heart.
Christopher West will be the main speaker, author of the best-selling Theology of the Body for Beginners: Rediscovering the Meaning of Life, Love, Sex, and Gender as well as a global lecturer, author of many best-selling books and multiple audio and video programs, all which have made him the world’s most recognized teacher of John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body” – a bold, biblical vision of love and sexuality.
Bring family and friends. No one should miss this awesome and inspiring event! It will sell out, so get your tickets early!
Brought to you by St Mary Parish, Our Lady of Fatima & Church of the Holy Spirit.
