Catholic Women's Webinar

The World Union of Catholic Women’s Organizations (WUCWO) is starting a webinar series about Synodality in the Catholic Church called “School for Synodality,” February 27-29, 2024. The First Session of the Synodal Assembly 2021-2024 resulted in a synthesis document to which I previously linked (a direct link to the document is HERE). The WUCWO school will focus especially on Section 9 of the document, which concerns the role of Catholic women in the Church. The link to the website for registration is HERE.  

I’m sorry this post is so late but I only noticed this announcement today, Feb. 27, 2024, on the Vatican News site (and as far as I know today is when it first showed up). The first two days of the webinar are in Spanish and French respectively. The February 29 presentation is in English. I hope you can still register and watch if you are interested.

Synod Groups Formed

As I still try to catch up with my various activities from a very busy 2023, I’ll just add a short post to keep my blog presence alive for another month.

Further developments have recently taken place concerning the second session of the Catholic Bishops’ Synod of Synodality (16th Ordinary General Assembly).

In December, a document was distributed to bishops world-wide to help them continue the process of synodality. An article describes it at Vatican News HERE.

Just announced, Pope Francis, along with setting the dates of Oct. 2 to Oct. 27 2024 for the second session, is creating study groups to explore themes from the first session of the Synod. More details can be found at Vatican News HERE
