Synod Time for the Church!

“As Christians, we do not only receive a vocation individually; we are also called together. We are like the tiles of a mosaic. Each is lovely in itself, but only when they are put together do they form a picture. Each of us shines like a star in the heart of God and in the firmament of the universe. At the same time, though, we are called to form constellations that can guide and light up the path of humanity, beginning with the places in which we live. This is the mystery of the Church: a celebration of differences, a sign and instrument of all that humanity is called to be. For this reason, the Church must become increasingly synodal: capable of walking together, united in harmonious diversity, where everyone can actively participate and where everyone has something to contribute.”

Pope Francis

Our Goal

To promote awareness of the active presence of God in everyday life -- across the centuries and around the globe.

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.
