For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, and Mission
Official Logo of the Synodal Process — General Secretariat of the Synod
Walking Together
Synodality calls the whole People of God to walk together — listening, discerning and participating in the life and mission of the Church.
Rooted in communion, participation and mission, the Synodal Process invites the Church to listen attentively to the Holy Spirit and to one another.
Following the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, the Church entered its Implementation Phase.
During this phase, local Churches are called to receive the fruits of the Synod and give them concrete expression within their own pastoral and cultural circumstances. Implementation is therefore a continuing process of reception, discernment and participation in the life of the Church.
This section of Gilded Orpharion brings together documents, reflections and resources from that continuing journey, from the opening of the Synodal Process and its periods of listening and discernment to the present Implementation Phase and the path towards the Ecclesial Assembly of October 2028.
