“The purpose of the Synod is to plant dreams, draw forth prophecies and visions, allow hope to flourish, inspire trust, bind up wounds, weave together relationships, awaken a dawn of hope, learn from one another, and create a bright resourcefulness that will enlighten minds, warm hearts, give strength to our hands, and inspire a vision of the future filled with the joy of the Gospel.” – Pope Francis

Pope Francis has invited all of us throughout the world to share with him our experience of journeying together as Church and how that experience can be improved.
