Catholics of all ages – even those not regularly practicing the faith – are invited to provide their feedback on the Church’s mission at this in-person listening session. The whole Church is called to participate in the upcoming Synod (Greek: synodos, meeting/assembly) of Bishops! Your comments will be gathered and shared with the Synod. Stay for part or all of the three hours. Snacks provided. 

We will break into small groups with a table facilitator posing about 20 questions that relate to Church mission. There will be a secretary at your table taking notes. The notes will be anonymous and will be summarized into one parish report that will contribute to the diocesan synthesis created from all parish listening sessions in the diocese. More information is available in this participant guide. 

Have you taken the Synod’s online survey? Available through January 31, Bishop Vásquez, in communion with our Holy Father, invites all the faithful to have their voices heard, leading up to the Synod of Bishops.
