BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 15, 2022― Voice of the Faithful has scheduled our next input sessions for the Synod on Synodality, the most significant opportunity ever for the Church’s laity to influence the future of the Church. See the schedule below, and please note:
- Every Set in every Round has two sessions, and each of those sessions has the same questions (two in Session 1 and four in Session 2) no matter which Set it’s in, so you need register for only one Set of sessions to ensure your input.
- Sessions are restricted to eight participants to ensure all can effectively share their experiences, so your attendance is vital to the success of your session.
- Register ASAP. Registration will be closed after eight participants have registered for a set.
- Please feel free to invite your friends, neighbors, adult children, and others and note the Saturday and Sunday sessions.

The Synod is for Mutual Discernment
This is your opportunity to express your hopes, dreams, desires, and, yes, even your concerns for the future of the Catholic Church. We will listen intently to the Holy Spirit and engage in mutual discernment to seek a path forward for our Church. The Synod on Synodality, officially called “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, and Mission,” will provide all people of God with a chance to express how they see the Church becoming the synodal, pastoral, evangelical Church it should be.
VOTF emphasizes that all voices will be heard for the Synod, even the voices of those who feel uncomfortable talking in a group about their experiences and hopes for the future of the Church. Anyone who would like additional information may email office@votf.org.
