Synod 2021-2023: Communion - Participation - Mission

Do not quench the Spirit.

Do not despise prophetic utterances.

Test everything; retain what is good.

- Saint Paul (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21)

 

"Pope Francis invites all of us to share our experiences and listen to one another in a spirit of respect, dialogue, and prayer. When we are open to the Holy Spirit, we are changed -- together."

- Father Desmond Drummer
