Diocesan News
The Irish Synodal Pathway: What has been heard so far?
The Irish Synodal Pathway has discerned one main focal point and seven key priority areas after its extensive consultation process.
The focus that emerged is the centrality of Baptism as the foundation of the Christian life and mission, and the key to the vitality of communities of faith.
The seven key priority areas are Belonging, Co-responsibility and Lay Ministry, Family, Formation and Catechesis, Healing, Women, and Youth.
There is a clear call for renewal. Above all, God is asking the Church to adopt through the synodal process, a permanent culture of prayerful listening, dialogue, and walking together in faith going forward. Read more: www.dioceseofmeath.ie/synod
