DIOCESAN NEWS

The Synod Process Continues

Phase II: Generating Ideas

 

Phase II is different and distinct from Phase I. During Phase II, you will choose the topic(s) that are most important to you and then generate ideas that address specific questions chosen by Bishop Bootkoski based on input from Phase I. Your ideas will help shape what delegates discuss during synod sessions this autumn.

Check the synod website for the dates, times, and locations of Phase II sessions about Education; Parish Life; Personnel in Ministry; Social Justice; Unity; and Worship & Spirituality. Questions and background information about each topical area are available in advance at www.diometuchen.org/synod OR in The Catholic Spirit OR by calling the Synod Secretariat at 732-562-2454.

 

Phase II sessions are being held throughout the Diocese between May 3 and June 17.

Your pre-registration will help us plan!

Last February, each parish hosted a Speak Up Session in preparation for the upcoming Diocesan Synod.  In the accompanying Bulletin insert you will find the topics, locations, dates and times for the second Sessions.  Please select the session(s) that most interest you and mail your choice(s) directly to the Diocese.
