Do you ever wonder what the purpose of the Church is? Why does the Church exist? The primary mission Christ gave to his apostles, and through them to the Church, is to evangelize. He told them, “Go into the whole world and preach the good news” (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15). The interaction of the Gospel with the cultures in which it is preached has brought about different levels of growth and transformation, depending on the people’s response to it. The synod calls us forth to share how we are putting our gifts to work in service of charity for the good of the Church and her mission in our world and time. Every parish in our diocese would be participating in the diocese-wide synod consultations, to ask the Holy Spirit to guide the Church in our diocese at this time and into the future. We want to listen in prayer together and share with one another how we feel the Lord is calling the Church today to preach the good news in ways that would be relevant for the people of today in our diocese.
