NEWS FROM THE DIOCESE

Bishop Launches Local Synod Process
Last Sunday, Oct. 17, Bishop Felipe Estévez opened the local synod process with a Mass at St. Joseph Catholic Church. It was attended by parish representatives from across the diocese. Msgr. Vincent Haut gave the homily in which he explained that the great challenge of the synodal process is to really listen to the people with whom we disagree and those very different from us. The Mass was followed by three witness talks from local Catholics on the pillars of synodality and how the faithful can participate. Bishop Estévez gave concluding remarks. 

All Catholics can participate in the synod process by attending one of six discernment sessions. A postcard will be mailed next week to Catholic households and includes discernment questions that will be addressed at the gatherings. To learn more about the local synodality process, visit synod.dosafl.com. And to watch the livestream of the kick-off Mass and witness talks, click below.
