In preparing for our parish synod listening session, we ask that you begin reflecting on your experiences of the Church. Below is the main question broken into 3 parts. Pope Francis is asking that we begin answering these questions in order to better understand how the Holy Spirit is guiding us in the life and mission of the Church in our times. The process the Pope is inviting us to use is called synodality (listening & journeying together). Synodality has its origins in the early Church, and Pope Francis is asking everyone to participate because the Holy Spirit speaks to all of us. We invite you to share this question with others and invite them to the listening session so we may encounter each other and all voices may be heard.
