Pathways for the Implementation Phase of the Synod
"These Pathways, prepared by the General Secretariat of the Synod with the favourable opinion of its Ordinary Council and approved by the Holy Father Leo XIV, are part of the General Secretariat's service of accompaniment during the implementation phase of the Synod. They have a twofold purpose. On the one hand, they aim to offer local Churches throughout the world a shared framework that will make it easier to walk together. On the other hand, they promote the dialogue that will lead the whole Church to the Ecclesial Assembly in October 2028." - Synod Secretariat
In response to Pope Francis’ synodal call to invite the people of eastern North Carolina and the world to provide their thoughts regarding the Mission of the Catholic Church, parishes are encouraged to use the following educational/promotional resources.
