Pastor’s Pen
Bishop Joe is not wasting time in launching a Synod for the Diocese, details of his plan are in the insert in this weekend’s bulletin. Canon 460 defines the diocesan synod: “as a group of selected clergy and lay members who assist the bishop for the good of the diocesan community, establishing the fundamental role of the synod in diocesan governance.”
It will be a time for broad consultation throughout the diocese, for listening, prayer and for discerning. It is for the bishop to be informed in his role of governorship and leadership of the local church.
It is a track that Pope Francis has taken the Church with the conclusion of the Synod on Synodality in Rome last October. We will draw from those rich conclusions.
A preparatory commission will be chosen, to oversee the process.
I view this opportunity positively, to collaborate with the bishop, to reach out to all members of our church, to prioritize time for prayer and meetings and to trust in the Holy Spirit and our Blessed Mother.
