The Synod on Synodality is a two-year process of listening and dialogue beginning with a solemn opening in Rome on October 9 and 10, 2021 with each individual diocese and church celebrating the following week on October 17. The synodal process will conclude in 2023. 

Pope Francis invites the entire Church to reflect on a theme that is decisive for its life and mission: “It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium.” This journey, which follows in the wake of the Church’s “renewal” proposed by the Second Vatican Council, is both a gift and a task: by journeying together and reflecting together on the journey that has been made, the Church will be able to learn through Her experience which processes can help Her to live communion, to achieve participation, to open Herself to mission.

As Bishop Duca mentioned in his letter to the Diocese on December 12, 2021, synodal sessions would be held in each deanery in order to begin this process of listening, sharing and reflecting on our local Church. All of the in-person synodal sessions have taken place, but if you were unavailable to take part in the discussion, you can fill out the form below.
