Continuing along the path of Synodality

7PM - 8:30PM

Pope Leo has continually affirmed Pope Francis’ understanding of synodality as the way of the Church for the third millennium and recently clarified expectations of how this will shape the life of our dioceses and parishes. In the Archdiocese of Liverpool we have been endeavouring to walk this synodal path for some time. Our own diocesan synod laid some good foundations for us to continue to build on. The Final Document from the Synod on Synodality (Vatican Synod) provides the basis for the journey ahead. During Eastertime a series of zoom sessions starting on 21 April will give an opportunity for reflection, sharing and prayer on some of the themes of the document.
