The synodal church: A spirit filled vision, a daring promise and a call to hope

The Synodal Church: a Spirit-Filled Vision, a Daring Promise, & a Call to Hope

What is happening with Synodality in the Catholic Church?  Many of us remember taking part in local discussions in preparation for the Synod on Synodality Sessions held in October 2023 and 2024 but haven’t heard much since then. 

Join us on-line on June 7 for an update and discussion of what’s next with Elizabeth Davis, past congregational leader of the Sisters of Mercy from Newfoundland and Labrador. Sr. Elizabeth was one of 54 women voting delegates at the Sessions in the Vatican. Since then, she has been keeping track of the implementation and the reports of the resulting study groups.

Through conversations like this one with Sister Elizabeth we hope to find ways to move forward together and to keep the spirit of the Synod alive.  From our many small flames a new Pentecost will come!

Your parish office is able provide you with the legal name for your own parish. However, most Archdiocesan parishes and programs can be designated in your Will as:

The Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of OTTAWA-CORNWALL, for the benefit of [ Specific Parish, Cemetery, Ministry or Program ] in [ Town / City ].

You may also consider the following clauses in your Will:

For your parish:

“To pay to (Legal Name of Parish) Roman Catholic Parish for its own use absolutely, the sum of (amount) dollars. I declare that the receipt of the person professing to be the Pastor or Parochial Administrator of the parish shall be sufficient discharge to my Trustee who need not see to the application thereof. I further direct that if the (Name of Parish) does not exist at the time of my death, this bequest shall be paid to the Parish’s successor, and if no such successor exists, then to an institution with similar objectives and goals.”
