This  Synod is not  just  another  meeting with oral presentations and written reports. This Synod is a process of  journeying together. As the Church, we will listen to each other,  dialogue with each other, pray together,  discern together and make decisions together  for  the  purpose  of  proclaiming  the  Gospel  of Jesus Christ to the world!  

Synod is a greek word (synodos) meaning a meeting or assembly.  The two Greek words that make up Synod are syn meaning together and hodos meaning way or journey.  
The entire Catholic Church is called  to participate in the upcoming Synod of  Bishops!  The upcoming Synod is entitled: “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation,  and Mission.”  CLICK HERE to review the full participants guide.
