UPDATE: Karen Castellon presented a summary of the Synod sessions after Mass on Sunday May 15. If you were not able to attend, and would like additional information, please reach out to Karen (contact info below). You may download the summary below under the Resources section: OLR Synod Response.

Synod means ‘journeying together’  and it involves listening to the Holy Spirit and to each other in order to discern the path we are called to walk together.

The synod “is intended to inspire people to dream about the Church we are called to be, to make people’s hopes flourish, to stimulate trust, to bind up wounds, to weave new and deeper relationships, to learn from one another, to build bridges, to enlighten minds, warm hearts, and restore strength to our hands for our common mission.”

Our basic question is:  What is the Holy spirit saying to our Church today?
