Supporting the Synod
from 2022 Catholic Partnership Summit Report: Living Synodal Leadership: Our Call to a Unified Church
Leadership Roundtable is inspired by Pope Francis’ vision for the global Church and his call for all Catholics to engage in a synodal journey. Drawing upon a long-standing working relationship with many Vatican dicasteries, including the Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), we endeavored to help dioceses and Catholic organizations implement the Synod process.
For dioceses, we produced and shared two documents throughout the United States and the world to assist in Synod consultations:
• A guide for Facilitating Synodal Consultations, available in English and Spanish
• A guide for Reporting Synodal Consultations, available in English and Spanish.
Additionally, we convened leaders from national Catholic organizations, movements, and institutions in three consultations to engage them in the Synod process.
We continue to be a collaborator with the Vatican and the USCCB in the ongoing Synod process.
