Synod on Synodality
Initiated by Pope Francis, the Synod on Synodality is a process of listening and dialogue that began in 2021 with a worldwide consultation of the People of God. The Synod continues with gatherings of delegates in Rome in October of 2023 and is expected to conclude in 2024.
All of the work of the Synod that has happened to this point has prepared the way for the gathering of delegates in Rome for the Synod of Bishops in October of 2023. The goal is to discuss topics that were culled from the worldwide Synod on Synodality in 2021-2022. The Synod will then continue into a second session in October of 2024.

Prayer for Our Parish in Transition: St. Mary Magdalene
Heavenly Father,
We stand before you, seeking your guidance and strength as we navigate this season of transition in our urban Catholic parish ministry. We know that change can bring anxiety and uncertainty, but we trust your divine plan and wisdom.
Help us to remember that you are the foundation of our faith and that your love for us is unwavering. Grant us the courage to embrace the changes ahead, knowing that you are with us every step of the way.
We pray for our lay leaders and clergy and all members of our parish community that we may be filled with the Holy Spirit
and guided by your wisdom as we work to enhance our ministry in Christ. May we be open to the needs and concerns of our parishioners and all who live in our parish territory and seek your will in everything we do.
During this season of transition, we ask for the intercession of Saints Mary Magdalene, Bede, Charles Lwanga, James, and our Blessed Mother Mary.
We offer this prayer in the name of your son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you now and forever. Amen.
