The word “synod” comes from the Greek synados, meaning “an assembly.” Synods in the Catholic Church generally feature an assembly of bishops, who come together to assist the Holy Father in addressing the needs of the Church. The principle of synodality is defined specifically as “the actions of the Spirit in the communion of the Body of Christ and in the missionary journey of the People of God.”
If you remember, this process began on the parish and diocesan level back in Feburary 2021. Every family in The Holy Rood Collaborative was invited to participate via a questionnaire, which was forward to the Archdiocese. From there is was combined with the feedback from all parishes within the archdiocese, summarized, and sent off to the Bishops.
