Invitation to Synodality Formation Sessions

To support the synodal process you may be interested in attending synodality formation which Pastoral Development Department are rolling out across the Archdiocese. Chairs, Deans and Secretaries are strongly encouraged to attend the same sessions as they will be facilitating the DSC meetings. However, no process can be truly synodal unless all participants understand what it means and how it is achieved. So, we would like to open the invitation further to include members of the Deanery Synodal Councils, non DSC clergy and religious, and anyone who is leadership in parishes/ministry so we can all benefit from this training of how we can best work synodally.

This formation offers a chance to deepen our understanding of synodal ways in conducting meetings and operating as a synodal body. We will be looking at practical aspects of synodality and provide some guidance, while modelling listening to one another throughout the session. 

 

The formation sessions will be held in six venues across the diocese. The dates and times of the meetings are below - please register via the link to Google Forms below or on the word form (link provided). If you can’t make the session closest to you, you are free to register for any of the sessions.
