A Brief History of the Synod on SynodalityCalled by the Vatican &quot;the most important event in the Church since Vatican II, this Church renewal began in 2021. Pope Francis launched a historic global process inviting the entire People of God to reflect on how the Church walks together: listening, discerning and participating in mission. This Synod on Synodality involved local consultations in parishes and dioceses across the world, continental assemblies and two month-long gatherings in Rome in 2023 &amp; 2024, with the Pope, cardinals, bishops, priests, religious and laity. In 2025, there was a 2-day global convocation called &quot;Jubilee of Synodal Teams and Participatory Bodies.&quot; We now begin the Implementation Phase in our daily lives since &quot;synod&quot; taken from the Greek means &quot;walking together.&quot;&nbsp;These gatherings emphasized listening to every voice especially those often unheard. Synodality can be summed up in four words: &quot;spiritual renewal and structural reform.&quot; This is expressed through deeper communion, participation and mission.
