The Bishops want to know: What would be your preferred option for engagement in a conversation process about a national synod?
The Irish Catholic Bishops announced at their Winter 2020 meeting a new Synodal Pathway for the Catholic Church in Ireland, leading to the holding of a National Synodal Assembly within the next five years. Before embarking on an initial two year phase of consultation, bishops are inviting submissions between Easter (5 April) and Pentecost (23 May), 2021 to reflect on what methods/models would be best to adopt in these coming two years of conversations. For example: focus groups, parish hall meetings, questionnaires, deep-listening sessions; written submissions; family-focused gatherings; summary of findings of assemblies that have already taken place across dioceses; and/or conferences.
Individual parishioners can make their submissions, in not more than 300 words, via the Bishops Conference webpage: https://www.catholicbishops.ie/synod/submissions/
Please also send a copy of your submission to the parish email office@killeigh.com
