Synod Report — Diocese of San Angelo
A synod is a journey of the faithful to listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church and asking her to be and to do. This journey, which follows in the wake of the Church’s renewal proposed by the Second Vatican Council, is both a gift and a task; by journeying together and reflecting together on the journey that has been made, the Church will be able to learn through her experience which processes can help her to live communion, to achieve participation, and to open herself to mission.
In October 2021, Pope Francis opened the Synod on Synodality. This Synod is a two-year process of listening and dialoguing. The diocesan phase of the process concluded in June 2022 with the submittal to the USCCB of the summary of feedback we received in our listening sessions.
The summary of the feedback received is contained in a 6-page report that can be found here:Synod Report — Diocese of San Angelo
At Pope Francis' request two interim reports were prepared in April 2024:Interim State Synod Report — Diocese of San Angelo
