Synod/Sinodo

Pope Francis has invited everyone to participate in discussing 2 more topics to close out the 3 year Synodal journey. 

The Diocese of Fresno will be hosting several Listening Sessions throughout the Diocese and will hold 3 sessions here at

St. Patrick's Hall - 673 E Yosemite Ave. Merced, Ca 95340:

Sunday, March 3, 4pm in English (COMPLETE - thank you for your participation!)

Thursday, March 7, 10am in English

Thursday, March 7, 6:30pm Bilingual (We will have groups led in both English and Spanish)

We invite the Parish family of St. Patrick's as well as the community of Merced to join in one of these sessions.

All sessions will focus on the same 2 topics:

1

Where have I seen or experienced or witnessed encouragement and/or challenges in our shared mission as Church. 

What is our shared mission?

Dónde he visto o experimentado o he sido testigo de estímulos y/o desafíos en nuestra misión compartida como Iglesia. 

¿Cuál es nuestra misión compartida?

2

Where have I witnessed Church structure (parish, diocesan, universal) fostering or hindering our shared mission?

¿Dónde he visto que la estructura de la Iglesia (parroquial, diocesana, universal) fomenta o dificulta nuestra misión compartida?

3

What is needed to help all the baptised respond to our shared mission to proclaim the Gospel and live as a community of love and mercy in Christ?

¿Qué se necesita para ayudar a todos los bautizados a responder a nuestra misión común de anunciar el Evangelio y vivir como comunidad de amor y misericordia en Cristo?
