As the voices and hands of Jesus in our time, our purpose is to express God's grace by offering Christion Love and Service to each other and to everyone we meet. We reach out to the world in prayer, action and deeds in unity with the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

Pope Francis Announces Synod 2021 - 2023
What is this all about?
Jesus Christ promised us that the Holy Spirit would guide his Church.
Ancient Christians developed a custom of local leaders coming together to pray and make decisions about matters affecting all the Christian communities in a region. They gathered in the faith that their prayers and discussions would reveal God’s will and the way to achieve it.
These acts “coming together” are called Synods. Almost every two years since 1967 bishops from all over the world gather to assist the Bishop of Rome (the Pope) with “providing for the good of the universal Church”.
Pope Francis wants to expand this “coming together” or Synodal process to include not just the bishops, men and women religious and consecrated laity, but everyone in the Church, you and me. Pope Francis wants to make the Church more “synodal”, more coming together of more of the members of the Church. He wants to come together particularly about the topics of communion, the sharing and exchanging type, not the Eucharist, participation, and mission.
Our bishop, Archbishop Wester has prepared a letter for all of us, introducing the Synod and talking about its goals.
To read the letter, click here, en Español, haga clic aquí
For Archbishop Wester’s video announcement click here.
Since we will be asked for our opinion on the topics of communion, participation and mission it is necessary that we should ask the Holy Spirit for promptings and guidance. Click Here (en Español, haga clic aquí) for a prayer that we can use to ask the Holy Spirit for promptings and guidance. This prayer will be prayed during each Mass, and should be prayed at the beginning of any liturgical event, class or meeting.
The Synod has three phases:
- Preparatory Phase - Consult with the People of God on the topics of communion, participatoin and mission. The first part of the preparatory phase is the diocesan phase. (we are in this phase, for the roadmap of this phase click here)
- Discussion Phase - An assembly of those selected by the Pope meets in Rome to discuss the results of the preparatory phase and make a recommendation on the direction the Church should take. The voting members of the Synod vote on the recommendation. Once approved it is sent to Pope Francis for his approval
- Implementation Phase - Bishops worldwide are tasked with implementing the Synod's plan
