The “Synod on Synodality” is a two-year process of listening and dialogue that launched in October 2021. Pope Francis invited Catholics around the world to reflect on the theme of “Communion, Participation and Mission” in the context of the life of the Catholic Church. The Synod provides an opportunity for serious reflection and action to deepen an understanding of the role of all the members of the Church, journeying together with Christ as our Head, in living the Gospel in our time.
