Synod on Synodality

- Faith Formation

Synod Survey

The goal of the Synod on Synodality is to become a more "synodal" church. A synodal church journeys together, listens together, and discerns together how the Holy Spirit is guiding us.

We hope you are able to attend one of the listening and discernment sessions offered by the parish or the archdiocese. Our parish will gather on Sunday, March 6 at 12:00 p.m. and Tuesday, March 8 at 6:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall to discuss some of these questions.

If you are not able to attend, please feel free to fill out the survey below by March 15 and we will include your contribution in our report to the Archdiocese. Please answer any questions you'd like. You need not answer them all. Any questions about the Synod? Email Michael Sanem at msanem@kcnativity.org.
