We have begun to genuinely join our voices together behaving as a synodal Church. Let us now gather with fellow parishioners. our priests, and community members to determine how we might become personally involved in making our local community more synodal - that is, involving the people in sharing the responsibility of our Church community. It is time for the people to no longer just sit in the pews, as Pope Francis has said so clearly, but time to stand up and become involved in carrying our communities into the future. The real work of becoming a synodal Church begins now. It is crucial that we stay involved in the process. We at CCRI will keep you informed and continue to gather online as a community.
