Archdiocese of Louisville Synod Update 2021-2024

New Opportunity for Feedback to the Synod

The “Interim Stage” for the Synod on Synodality is the period between Synod of      Bishops’ meetings in October 2023 and October 2024. All are invited to participate in consultation that will contribute to preparation for the October 2024 Assembly in Rome. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has recommended that dioceses conduct two to three listening sessions during Lent.

The Archdiocese of Louisville will hold three listening sessions during February and March:

• Tuesday, February 27, 7-8:45 p.m. Pastoral Center (Room 1) 3940 Poplar Level Road, Louisville
• Thursday, March 7, 6:30-8:15 p.m. Basilica of St. Joseph (Parish Hall) 310 W. Stephen Foster Avenue, Bardstown
• Wednesday, March 13, 7-8:45 p.m. St. Margaret Mary (Door #5, Hospitality Room) 7813 Shelbyville Road, Louisville

All are welcome!  To prepare for this consultation, participants should prayerfully reflect on the following   guiding questions: Where have I experienced or witnessed ways in which Church structures, leadership, or life       encourage and foster our shared mission? Where have I experienced or witnessed ways in which Church structures, leadership, or life hinder our shared mission? How can the Church’s structures and organization help us to proclaim the gospel and live as a community of love and mercy in Christ?
