Are you ready to participate in the Synod on Synodality? The U.S. Federation of Sisters of St. Joseph will provide space for anyone who is a part of the Federation—associates, alums of CSSJ schools, members of the St. Joseph Worker community, sisters and beyond—to gather, pray and share in conversation. The Federation will hold virtual listening sessions to engage in this global consultation. Their basic question is: “What is the Holy Spirit saying to our Church today?”

Pope Francis has called us together—the people of God throughout the world—to share our lived experiences and listen to others.

Listening sessions

Format

Each listening session will begin with Scripture and prayer; then will break into small groups for listening, sharing, and discerning.

The key questions are:

1. What have been the joys and obstacles in your journeying together with the family of Joseph (as a sister, agrégée, associate/consociate, employee, partner in mission or St. Joseph Worker)? Please share a brief story that illustrates your experience.
2. Considering our charism’s call to love God and dear neighbor without distinction, how is the Spirit inviting you to act at this time in history?
