All Saints Parish Synod:
Our Journey Together…
Come share what the Holy Spirit is saying to you about All Saints Parish

- Synod gathering and discussion 12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
During the time of our Church’s worldwide Synod, Fr. Jay challenged us with the following words in his homily.
“We are now involved in a worldwide Synod. “Synod” is a Greek word meaning “assembly.” Pope Francis is planning, it seems, that this will be a way of planning in the future. A way of solving problems in the future. A way the Church grows and matures in the future if this all carries through.
The Spirit is speaking through us together. Through the whole community, we will be able to speak the Spirit’s work, and we will be able to hear it and act upon it. Pray that the spirit of the Synod will be strong. That it will call on the Holy Spirit to speak its voice that we will be able to follow and do this in peace and good will.”
Prior to coming to the synodal gathering, each participant will be asked to prayerfully prepare themselves to actively respond to the questions that will be asked during the gathering by conversing in prayer with Christ and listening with the ear of the heart to the Holy Spirit.
