Universal Church’s Synod on Synodality A listening Church: Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has invited the Universal Church to embark on a journey together. Through listening and discernment rooted in the Holy Spirit, the entire people of God will be called to contribute to a process by which the Church deepens in understanding of Her mission and looks toward the future. The practice of living as a synodal Church means: ·The conversations lead to conversion to Christ and commitment to active participation in the mission given by Christ — Communion ·The people of God talk with one another and listen to one another about questions that matter — Participation ·The communion exists for a common purpose; mission flows naturally from the experience of communion — Mission. Synodal Requirements: Addressing the basic questions together • Listening to the Holy Spirit • Remaining open to the perspectives of other people • “Progressively maturing” the fruits of the Holy Spirit over time. Date: Saturday, March 19 Time: 10:00am—12:30 Place: Holy Trinity Church, Bandon
