How to create services and ministries that respond to the real needs of our communities?

We invite you to participate in this virtual meeting for the implementation of the Synod, a space for reflection, listening, and community discernment to deepen the creation of services and ministries that effectively respond to the pastoral challenges of each context, in light of the Final Document of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops (DF 75-77).
