The Synod of the Archdiocese of Hartford began in 2017 and will conclude with Mass on Pentecost 2020. The theme of the synod is Grow & Go. Our parish held a well-attended listening session in 2018. Your responses to the three questions were added with those of parishes throughout the diocese. This input formed the four themes of the synod as follows:
1 - Encounter With Christ
2 - Becoming Missionary Disciples
3 - Sent on Mission
4 - Collaboration in the Local Church
Delegates from our parish are still engaged in the synod process and have attended many preparatory meetings including a three day synod meeting to address the four themes of the synod. Our delegates Linda Duff and Jamie Kalamarides reported back at the Masses after the meeting.
