FROM THE ARCHBISHOP Trusting the Holy Spirit to Bless Listening, Learning Huddled in St. Joseph Hall at the Archdiocesan Catholic Center for a practice round of a Pre-Synod Prayer and Listening Event, I found myself entering deeply into the guided prayer and especially our moderator’s first set of questions: What is going well in the archdiocese? Where do we see blessings in our experience of the local Church? I didn’t have to look very far to arrive at a heart-felt response: the three dozen volunteers who had given up a Friday morning to help our Synod team fine-tune our process reminded me of how blessed I am to be serving in a diocese alongside so many exceptionally generous and committed lay Catholics.
