Journeying Together
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Pope Francis is calling on all of us to become better listeners. He’s inviting dioceses around the world to bring people together for listening and sharing opportunities. Various parishes around the Diocese of St. Petersburg will be hosting sessions this Advent and in 2022 for “journeying together” through Scripture, prayer, and faith sharing. Most of all, we will be listening to each other and to the Holy Spirit who is guiding the Church. To see a list of regional sessions that are planned throughout our five counties, please click here.
I invite you to participate. For additional details about the Vatican Synod, please click on this link.
The Holy Spirit is moving us to live out our mission more profoundly so that we can be the Light of the World and bring the Light of Christ to others. We have had much to deal with over the past few years. Now more than ever, there is a need for healing from loneliness, sickness, and fear. Through each of us, the Holy Spirit provides clarity for our mission to share the love of Jesus Christ with those who are in need.
May God bless you!
Bishop Gregory Parkes
