Pre-synod prayer and listening events schedule

Prayer and listening events

Twenty Pre-Synod Prayer and Listening Events are being held around the archdiocese this fall and winter to advise Archbishop Bernard Hebda on what topics should be addressed in the 2021 Archdiocesan Synod.

With the aid of the Holy Spirit and the faithful across the archdiocese, the archbishop will discern what he hears during the 2021 Synod to formulate a plan for meeting the archdiocese’s pastoral needs in the ensuing five to 10 years.

The three-hour events will include prayer, a presentation by the archbishop, reflection and discussion of two questions: 1) What are you grateful for and what is working well in our parishes and archdiocese? and 2) Which pastoral challenges or opportunities is God calling us to address in our archdiocese?

Archbishop Hebda plans to attend each event, along with members of the synod’s consultative teams.

The written comments of all who attend will be read and processed. Two bilingual events will be held this fall, in English and Spanish at Our Lady of Guadalupe in St. Paul, and in English and Vietnamese at St. Anne-St. Joseph Hien in Minneapolis. The following are the remaining fall events:
