     The “Synod on Synodality: Communion,
     Participation, and Mission”
    ​

     
    is a two-year process of listening and dialogue that began in 2021 and will conclude in 2023. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia understands the synodal process as a crucial moment in the life of the Church of Philadelphia; it perceives it as a learning process and an opportunity for conversion and renewal of ecclesial life under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
                 All the parishes in the Archdiocese are participating in two initiatives as part of The Synod and Call for More. Last month, we asked all parishioners to join the first initiative by completing the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) survey. 
    ​
     This month, we invite parishioners to attend one of our Synod Listening sessions. Sessions will be offered on Sessions will be offered on
    Sunday, May 15th, from 11 am-1 pm,
    and Wednesday, May 18th, from 7-9 pm. 

    Session location will be emailed to registrants a few days  prior.
    During these sessions, parishioners will participate in reflection and discussion around three topics.
    These small group-focused discussions will help shape the Church’s understanding of herself and her mission of evangelization and forming disciples.

     
    Registration is necessary to ensure adequate materials for the session and provide appropriate space and seating.
     
    Please register online to attend one of the sessions. 

    The topics and questions are below if you’d like to start reflecting 
    before our discussion sessions. 
    2 Hours ~ 6 Questions

    Topic 3: Accompaniment/Journey
     How can the Church help you and others to grow in your relationship with Jesus and your relationship with the Church?
