You're invited to contribute to the worldwide Synod!


Dear Saint Peter Parishioners,

Pope Francis has called a synod on synodality, a two-year process where the People of God (that means you!) are being invited to reflect on what it means to journey forward together as a Church.

You're being asked to participate because you are a valuable member of our Church. In this intentional process of mutual listening, Pope Francis wants us to rediscover the joy of being the People of God who journeys together, listening to everyone.

We ask that you complete the short 5 question questionnaire below so that your voice is included in this synodal process! Please know that your responses are anonymous.

Copies of these questions will also be available in hard copy in the church, this weekend's bulletin, and on the parish website. Drop boxes will be available in the church for hard copy submission. 

Our parish will hold a listening session during Lent to discuss these questions in person as well. 

May God bless you and keep you,

Father John
