The Synod on Synodality:
The October 4-29 gathering inside the Vatican is the first of two sessions of what is commonly called the "Synod on Synodality". It will be followed up by another session in October 2024. This initial meeting will include more than 400 participants and, for the first time in the Synod of Bishops' 58 year history (this is the 16th Synod), more than 50 women and a number of other laypersons will be full voting members.
Pope Francis: “Speaking of a ‘Synod on Synodality’ may seem something abstruse, self-referential, excessively technical, of little interest to the general public, but it is something truly important for the Church. Precisely at this time, when there is much talk and little listening, and when the sense of the common good is in danger of weakening, the Church as a whole has embarked on a journey to rediscover the word together. Walk together. Question together. Take responsibility together for community discernment, which for us is prayer, as the first Apostles did: This is synodality, which we would like to make a daily habit in all its expressions.”
