THE SYNOD Q & A
The Synod Evangelization Team is the method, but what is the Synod vision and what are the specific Synod Priorities that will be implemented in the context of parishes?
The vision is described in Archbishop’s pastoral letter, You Will Be My Witnesses: Gathered and Sent From the Upper Room, along with Synod Priorities for the next three years. The Year 1 Implementation Plan contains details on the first year (July 2023-June 2024) and describes how each one of us can prepare for Synod implementation in the coming months. Find both the pastoral letter and the Year 1 Implementation plan at archspm.org/synodletter.
Please pray for the Synod.
Holy Spirit,
renew your wonders in our time, as though in a new Pentecost,
and grant that this Archdiocese,
united in prayer around Mary, the Mother of Jesus,
and guided by St. Peter,
may spread the Kingdom of the divine Savior,
a Kingdom of truth, of justice, of love, and of peace.
Amen.
Saint Paul, our great missionary patron, pray for us
Amen. Mary, Mother of the Church, Pray for us!
Adapted from the Prayer of St. John XXIII at the calling of the Second Vatican Council.

SYNOD PRAYER
Come Holy Spirit
Make our ears to hear
Make our eyes to see
Make out mouths to speak
Make our hearts to seek
Make our hands to reach out
And touch the world with your love.
AMEN
Mary, Mother of the Church
Pray for us.
