First of Nine Synod Meetings Held

Bishop Michael G. Duca addressed more than 30 people who braved frigid temperatures and the threat of wintry weather Thursday night to attend the first of nine listening sessions responding to Pope Francis’ call to engage in a synodal process titled “Toward a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, Mission.” The majority of those in attendance at St. Margaret Queen of Scotland Church in Albany commented on the synod’s three sections, and Bishop Duca offered his thoughts at the end of the gatherings.
