SYNOD ’21-’23: WE ARE A LISTENING CHURCH
POPE FRANCIS: “THE PEOPLE OF GOD MUST BE CONSULTED BEFORE THE OCTOBER 2023 SYNOD OF BISHOPS” It is a process of journeying together by listening, dialoguing, praying, discerning, and making decisions together for the purpose of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Each local diocese and parish will gather – clergy, religious, and laity together- to listen to each other. The “goal” of this journeying together is not to create a new vision or pastoral plan. Rather, the goal of our journeying together is to be present with one another, to listen and learn with each other, and to grow closer to the Lord and His Church.
