The 75-minute webinar will be recorded and a link to the recording will be sent to all who register.
Pope Francis has invited the global Catholic Church to embark on TWO multi-year journeys: a) the Synod on Synodality and b) the Laudato Si’ Action Platform. At the same time, the U.S. Catholic Conferences of Bishops has invited the U.S. Catholic Church to deepen our devotion to the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist through a multiyear Eucharistic Revival movement. Many are asking, “How can we accomplish all of these journeys?” and “Which of these paths do we prioritize?”
In this webinar hosted by the Catholic Climate Covenant, we will discuss how the Vatican’s Synod on Synodality and the Laudato Si’ Action Platform, along with the USCCB’s Eucharistic Revival, can (and should) be seen as journeying together and not journeying on separate or competing paths.
Presenters will discuss:
- How these different threads can be (and ARE in the Diocese of Davenport) woven together to advance the Church’s mission, participation, and communion.
- How these three initiatives offer Church leaders, both clergy and laity, a remarkable and historic opportunity for important dialogue, spiritual growth, and community connectedness.
We are honored to have as presenters:
- Sr. Nathalie Becquart, XMCJ, Under-Secretary to the General Secretariat for the Synod of Bishops
- Fr. David McCullum, SJ, Executive Director of the Discerning Leadership Program
- Kerry Robinson, Leadership Roundtable Partner
- Kent Ferris OFS, Director of Social Action, Diocese of Davenport
- Patrick Schmadeke, Director of Evangelization, Diocese of Davenport
- Deacon Francis L. Agnoli, OFS, Director of Liturgy & Director of Deacon Formation, Diocese of Davenport
