Sunday, October 24, 2021, Bishop Flores will announce the beginning of the diocesan phase of Synod 2023 (a 3 year journey for the whole church) & will ask for a week of prayer to the Holy Spirit. This will lead up to an initial diocesan encounter on Saturday, October 30, 2021, at the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle. Delegates from parishes, missions, religious communities, and apostolic movements will gather and participate in this event. All are invited to join the week of prayer to the Holy Spirit and participate in the 11:30 AM Mass at the Basilica on Saturday, October 30, 2021.

Please join us in prayer that our work together as a local Church in the synodal endeavor will be rooted in prayer, guided by the Holy Spirit, and bear fruit in a renewal in the grace of our communion and mission in the Diocese.
