Pope Francis has summoned a synod of bishops in October 2023. And he has called on people
around the world, inside and outside the Church, to contribute to the synod discussion. From
January until April 2022, across the Archdiocese of Grouard-McLennan, we will gather in parishes
to Listen, Discern, and Journey Together. Please check the following website to learn more about
the Synod gatherings.
