The Synod on Synodality
Coverage of the Synod on Synodality, the worldwide consultation and discernment process launched by Pope Francis under the theme “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, Mission.” The process began in 2021 and included sessions of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in October 2023 and October 2024.
The synodal process is continuing through an implementation phase launched under Pope Francis and advanced by Pope Leo XIV, leading toward an ecclesial assembly in Rome in October 2028.
This collection includes local, national and international reporting on diocesan listening and implementation efforts, reports, Vatican documents, assembly proceedings, and the Church’s continuing reflection on communion, participation and mission.
Official documents and implementation resources are available from the General Secretariat of the Synod .
