Join us in Prayer for the Success of the Synod!

The long-awaited Synod has begun. Bishops, priests, nuns, and lay persons from around the world gathered in Rome to pray, listen, and reflect on where the Holy Spirit is leading us as a community in this new era. We are invited to join them in prayer as we continue this process through the coming year, reflecting on what they have discussed and our response.
