Welcome to the Irish Synodal Pathway
On 10 March 2021, the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference announced a new Synodal Pathway for the Catholic Church in Ireland leading to the holding of a National Synodal Assembly or Assemblies within the next five years. This process will focus on the question:
What does God want from the Church in Ireland at this time?
We hope this website will become an important stopping point on that journey, resourcing each one of us as we continue our Synodal journey.
Synodality and Evangelisation are the two sides of the same coin - Cardinal Grech
"There was a real sense that people feel they have gifts they want to offer " - Prof Anna Rowlands
What is most encouraging the integrity of the process - Julieann Moran & Fr Eamonn Fitzgibbon
