SYNOD LISTENING SESSIONS
You may have heard that Pope Francis has asked that parishes and dioceses offer feedback in preparation for the Synod of Bishops, whose theme will be “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, Mission.” in 2023. Average Catholics like yourself are being asked to consider how the church communicates with its people, upholds the centrality of the Eucharist and evangelizes.
To gather the experiences and insights of our parishioners we will be holding 2 listening sessions. One on Monday, May 23rd @ 2 p.m. in the church hall at Holy Rosary and the other on Wednesday, May 25th @ 6:30 PM in Holy Spirit Church. Each session will last roughly 2 hours.
We ask that those who are planning on joining us take some time to reflect on the questions we will be discussing before the meeting so we will have enough time to listen to the feedback of all those who attend. You may find those questions by clicking here. Please note that you are not required to come prepared to answer all of the questions.
The answers of those attend both meetings will be summarized and forwarded to the Diocese to be included in their report to Rome. A copy of our parish’s summary will be available on the parish website by the beginning of June.
