29th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Oct. 17, 2021) Mass for the World Opening of the Synod
We gather this evening to celebrate the Eucharist on this special day.
- To focus on the Word of God and to solemnly enthrone the Word of God, as at the opening of every Council and Synod.
- To invoke the guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead the diocesan phase of the Synodal Process.
- To entrust the Synodal Process to God, through the maternal intercession of Mary, Queen of the Apostles and Mother of the Church.
- To celebrate the beginning of the Synodal Process in union with all local Churches throughout the entire world.
- To gather representatives of the People of God in the diocese in a spirit of communion.
- To inspire participation throughout our Archdiocese in the Synodal Process.
- To be sent out on the pilgrim path of the Synodal journey as a missionary Church.
