“The potential is boundless when we all put our heads and hearts together and allow the Holy Spirit to lead.” - Archbishop Hebda
Synod Small Groups
Be part of the Synod process that will shape our local Church. Small groups will discuss the three focus areas that arose from feedback given in the Prayer and Listening events. Your prayer, conversation and feedback on priorities within these focus areas will inform the topics selected for the Synod Assembly in June 2022.
  • Forming parishes that are in the service of evangelization.
  • Forming missionary disciples who know Jesus’s love and respond to his call.
  • Forming youth and young adults in and for a Church that is always young.
Read Archbishop Hebda’s August 13, 2020 article in The Catholic Spirit for more details on the focus areas.

​When: Thursdays, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. or 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
