Our second of two Synod Listening Sessions will be happening on Thursday, March 24, at 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PM PT. This session is scheduled to run about 90 minutes and will be held on Zoom. We encourage you to think through the following preparatory questions before joining the session: As an LGBTQI Catholic or ally, what have been your joys in your journey of faith? Where have you heard God’s voice and felt God’s love? When have you felt supported, seen, and valued in the Church, in Dignity, or in the LGBTQI community? What experiences in the Church have brought you pain, disappointment, or exclusion? In what ways has being on the margins impacted your relationship with God and your relationship with the Church—for good or for ill? What hopes do you have for the Catholic Church? What message do you have for Pope Francis and the Synod of Bishops? If you are planning to attend a parish or diocesan Listening Session, we have a Synod Listening Session Participation Guide that could be helpful. Click here to download the guide. We found our first Listening Session in February to be very fruitful. Attendance at the first session is not necessary to join us for the second, so we hope to see you on Zoom! |
