The purpose of the Synod is “to plant dreams,” to “journey together” following the course of the Church in the third millennium with a truly synodal mentality.
Our Family of Parishes is organizing Listening Sessions as part of the Synod on Synodality. A key goal of the Synod is to engage as many people as possible in conversation and discernment on what the Holy Spirit is asking of the Church in the 21st Century. We are seeking prayerful input on the needs of the Church today and the way to speak about the mission of Christ to all people in the world we live in today.
Sessions:
We will be holding sessions at the various parishes; we encourage you to attend whichever one you wish. There will also be a Zoom session (the link will be sent to the email on your registration)
Individual Reflection Guide
The London Diocese has made available an online Individual Reflection Guide
“The Church is Listening – Share Your Thoughts” for those unable to attend in person or virtually.
We are all called to listen humbly and to speak courageously; to listen in a manner that invites others also to share authentically with us. This is an opportunity to hear things from other points of view; a different perspective. It will provide a framework to refine the vision of the Catholic Church and its mission in the world. After the session, if you have additional thoughts to add, a link to a web page will be provided where you will be able to submit additional thoughts, ideas and reflections.
What have been your experiences of “journeying together” with the Catholic Church?
As we journey forward together, what are your hopes and dreams for the Church?
