Diocese of Grand Rapids to take part in worldwide synod process
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Catholics in West Michigan are invited to take part in a synod process encompassing the whole Church at the diocesan, national and universal level. Pope Francis has asked every (Arch)diocese in the world to provide input for a document that will serve as the basis of discussion for the next Synod of Bishops meeting in Rome in October 2023. The topic of the synod is “For a synodal Church: communion, participation and mission.” Synodality, as defined by the International Theological Commission, is “the action of the Spirit in the communion of the Body of Christ and in the missionary journey of the People of God.”
