A Message from Fr. Zehren

This summer Archbishop Hebda has announced and kicked off a Synod process for our Archdiocese. The purpose of the synod, as the Archdiocesan website tells us, “is to help Archbishop Hebda discern, through a consultative process, the pastoral priorities of our local Church today – and into the near future.”

The Synod is a two-year process of prayer, listening, and consultation with the faithful. Every parish in the Archdiocese is invited and expected to take part – and to assemble a “Parish Ambassador Team.” Members of this team will be invited to attend prayer and listening sessions and training events throughout the Archdiocese. Then members will help to implement a small group process in the parish. Finally, members will be invited to attend the three-day Archdiocesan Synod Assembly on Pentecost Weekend, May 21-23, 2021.

If you feel called to participate as a member of our Parish Ambassador Team, please let me know. I believe the Holy Spirit is beginning something new for our Archdiocese. Let’s offer our hearts and see what God will do!

Fr. Dennis Zehren
Pastor
