ATTN: PARISHIONERS AND OTHER CATHOLIC MEMBERS OF OUR WIDER COMMUNITIES Come to a spiritual conversation on the topic of "For a Synodal Church" on Saturday, March 23 from 9:30 am—11:00 am in the Parish Life Center Conference Room. The questions to be reflected on are: 1. Where have I seen or experienced successes and distresses within the Church's structure(s)/organization/leadership/life that encourages or hinders the call to proclaim the Gospel and to live as a community of love and mercy in Christ? 2.Following up on the first question: How can the structures and organization of the Church help all the baptized to respond to the call to proclaim the Gospel and to live as a community of love and mercy in Christ? Your input will be greatly appreciated and may also be a learning experience for you into moving into a spiritual conversation. If interested, please take some time to pray over Isaiah 61 and ask God to open your heart to respond to these questions. With this, we ask that you write down three to five sentences in answer to each question. We hope to see you there.
