News - Synod 2023 and Synod Report RSS Feed

The official diocesan report for the Synod of Bishops was submitted to the USCCB in the spring of 2022. The 10-page report is a synthesis of the months-long synod process utilizing an online survey and listening sessions held at parishes, schools, and ministries around the diocese from December 2021 until March 2022. 

Pope Francis' aim in the Synod is to involve the whole Church at the diocesan, national, and continental levels through a process of “listening and discernment” on the important theme of synodality: “For a synodal Church: communion, participation, and mission.”

Leaders of the Synod for a Synodal Church have announced members of the Diocesan Synod Team and group coordinators who will help fulfill the first phase of Pope Francis’ call to canvass the entire Catholic Church for the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of Bishops in Rome in 2023.
