Synod

Pope Francis asked every one of the People of God to let him know how things are for them in the Church. He believes we are all trying to journey together through life, finding ways to communicate the fundamental message of Jesus, to love one another, in how we live our lives and in our words. That is the meaning of the word “Synodal” – it means “journeying together”.

He asked the Bishops of the world to ask you and then tell him. Bishop Ralph, who is our Bishop in the Hallam diocese, asked our school to ask the children, staff, governors and parents for your experiences of “journeying together”.

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to comment in our Synodal process. The Diocese have provided a summary of all the comments all the parishes, schools and communities received. It is here for you to read: Synod Summary Final.pdf
