Pope Francis and Cardinal Tobin invites the entire Church worldwide and especially here in the Archdiocese of Newark to reflect on a theme that is decisive for its life and mission: “It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium.” This journey, which follows in the wake of the Church’s “renewal” proposed by the Second Vatican Council, is both a gift and a task: by journeying together and reflecting together on the journey that has been made, the Church will be able to learn through Her experience which processes can help Her to live communion, to achieve participation, to open Herself to mission. 

 Learn more about the Synod and how the Young People in your Parish can be a part of the Archdiocese of Newarks Synod process!
