In preparation for the 2023 Synod of Bishops, Bishop Burbidge has asked us to host synodal listening sessions. We invite you to come to our Listening Session on Sunday, April 3, from 1:30 to 3:30 pm in the church. We also encourage you to invite anyone you may know who has fallen away from the practice of the faith, as well as anyone who may be materially marginalized.

Here are questions that Bishop Burbidge has asked us to look at:

1. What experiences of “journeying together” in your diocese and parish bring you joy and hope?
2. What difficulties and obstacles have you encountered to “journeying together” in your diocese and parish?
3. How do we most effectively witness to the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Gospel?
4. How effective are we in our three-fold mission of proclaiming and teaching the faith, of celebrating the liturgy and sacraments, and of service in charity?
5. How do all the members of the Church – laity and clergy – collaborate in their common mission?
6. How well do we dialogue – listen attentively and speak up candidly – within the Church and with the wider community?
