Light Dinner Included Our Church is in the middle of a multi-year synod in which Pope Francis is trying to hear as many voices as possible in order for the Church to better respond to the needs of the Faithful. A "diocesan phase" was held a couple years ago, and this past Fall there was a large gathering in Rome looking at all the responses that had come in from around the world. Recently, it was announced that dioceses in the U.S. were being asked to hold one more round of listening sessions, called an Interim Stage, so we will host a listening session for college students at St. John on Tuesday.
