How is your ? Come be a part of this new self-assessment questionnaire, developed by a diverse group of Catholics led by social entrepreneur and author Philippe de Roux, invites parishes to reflect, discern, and grow in the spirit of the Synod.

Tag your Parish Page!

This practical tool helps communities:

🔹 Reflect on their current reality
🔹 Strengthen decision-making and implementation
🔹 Recognise and nurture talents
🔹 Foster fraternity and care for all members
🔹 Ensure good governance and appropriate safeguards

Grounded in Scripture and faithful to the Church, each section encourages collective discernment and concrete action — without imposing any particular perspective.

📥 Download the questionnaire on Synod Resources: https://www.synodresources.org/resources/how-synodal-is-your-parish/

Available in French and English, it is an invitation for every parish ready to walk the synodal path seriously and together.

Already tested in French parishes and now shared internationally, many communities report renewed joy and deeper communion through this process. 🌿

NEW RESOURCE ALERT

This is a newly written Stations of the Cross For Our Time resource which has been prepared by Mercy International Association.

The reflections are inspired by Catherine McAuley and are offered through the lens of Mercy and Justice.

The images of the Stations of the Cross are from St Leo’s Convent in Carlow Town, Co Carlow, Ireland. They are used in this resource with the permission of the Sisters in St Leo's. We were blessed to visit them and to see the Stations in person in their beautiful chapel .
