We are a Church in Synod: Nathalie Becquart

We are a Church in Synod: Nathalie Becquart

 

"The first phase of the Synod gave rise to a great desire in the local Churches to pursue the path of synodality"

 

Witness of Sr. Nathalie Becquart X.M.C.J., Under-Secretary of the General Secretariat of the Synod at the Press Conference that was held to present the Continental Stage of the Synod on Synodality.

 

"Since the announcement of the Synodal Process in May 2021, with Card. Mario Grech and Mgr Luis Marin de San Martin, we have sought to establish a dialogue with all the local Churches, in particular with the Bishops' Conferences through a series of focus groups and face-to-face meetings. We have also had numerous encounters and connections with movements, religious communities, Church bodies and networks, as well as with the Dicasteries of the Roman Curia. Today I can witness to the impressive momentum around the world in response to Pope Francis' call to participate in the Synod."
