Welcome to the Irish Synodal Pathway
On 10 March 2021, the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference announced a Synodal Pathway for the Catholic Church in Ireland leading to a national synodal assembly or series of assemblies within the next five years. This process focuses 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.
For the latest information relating to the Universal Synod ‘For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission’ please go to www.synod.va or click on its official logo.
