The Synod at MQP

Picture
February 2, 2023


​Dear Friends,

Back in the fall of 2021, the worldwide Church began an effort called the Synod on Synodality, for becoming more and more a listening Church that accompanies one another in the faith. This multi-year effort has several stages, beginning at the parish level during the first part of 2022. Millions of people throughout the world have participated, including many of you here at MQP. I’m grateful to Jim Chambers for having accepted my invitation to lead MQP’s participation in the Synod, all those who helped Jim, and those who participated in listening sessions. Please read Jim’s report to the parish below.

As Jim has written, throughout 2022, the Synod moved from the parish level, to the archdiocese level, to the national level. It is currently at the continental level during this first part of 2023, with future worldwide gatherings coming up in the latter parts of 2023 and 2024.  You can find more information at these links:

            National & Continental: https://www.usccb.org/synod 
            Worldwide: https://www.synod.va/ 

Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us!

Fr. Chad Green

Hopes for the Synod

Picture
Watch Archbishop Etienne and others explain how local parishes, ministries, and lay people will host listening sessions to prayerfully read the signs of the times, interpret them in the light of the Gospel, and then discern how the Holy Spirit is calling the Body of Christ to accomplish our mission here and now.

Watch the video of the Mass at St. James Cathedral for the Opening of the Synodal Process in the Archdiocese of Seattle! It was a true experience of the Holy Spirit’s presence and our being part of the Universal Church. If you wish, you may simply read Archbishop Ettiene's homily here.
