Pope Francis has passed away. But his legacy will live on around the world — and also here in Canada when Roman Catholics will gather in Ontario June 15-18 for a lay synod.
The synod, the first national event of its kind in Canada, is titled “Journey of Encounter: Pilgrims of Hope Embracing Synodality.” Organized by Concerned Lay Catholics (CLC), it is taking place at St. Jerome’s University in Waterloo, Ont.
The lay synod takes its inspiration from the words of Pope Francis, when he issued his final report to the concluding session of the three-year-long Synod on Synodality in Rome last fall.
“Pope Francis’s final words to that Synod on Synodality are our beginning,” said Garry Warner, chair of the CLC and one of the lay synod’s organizers.
