Synod

Pope Francis has asked that the Synod of Bishops in 2023 would be about synodality, or how we as disciples are journeying together to reflect on and respond to the Holy Spirit’s call to us. The synod’s theme is “communion, participation and mission.”
More details about the synod can be found at the Pentecost Vigil Project or The Catholic Virginian.
Redeemer will soon begin the listening process! Be on the lookout for additional information on our website, in the bulletins, and at mass.
