Let's Walk Together as a Church with the Holy Spirit
Pope Francis will convene the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in October of 2023. This will be held in Rome. The purpose of the Synod
is to examine the topic, "For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission." The Holy Father has asked every diocese in the world to provide input
for the synod.
- What is a synod?
- What have previous Synods focused on?
- What is synodality?
- Local input efforts in the Diocese of Worcester for Synod 2023
- Examples of Local Consultative Experiences
The Synod preparatory documents acknowledge the difficulties of convening large consultative groups at this time. As a result, our diocese will not be convening a large gathering, but is providing a way for the faithful to provide input to Bishop McManus. This is your opportunity to provide your thoughts and experiences to our Bishop as all information gathered will be consolidated and presented at the Synod.
