Here's what's happening at St. T's...
Synod Update
What is a Synod? A Synod is a gathering of prayer, dialogue, reflection and discernment whose purpose is to live the mission of Jesus with greater fervor and effectiveness. The synod held in Rome in 2015 to discuss marriage and family, was a Global Synod. Ours is a Diocesan Synod to be held on Pentecost 2017. In the months leading to the diocesan synod, Bishop Hying has asked St. Teresa of Avila, to join him in reflecting on these eight areas, which are central to our common mission, lifting up our strengths and blessings but also acknowledging the challenges and raising questions and concerns:
Evangelization Marriage and Family Sacraments, Prayer and Worship Young Catholics Discipleship/Formation Stewardship Social Teaching Vocations and Leadership Formation
