From 3rd – 28th October 2018, Catholic Bishops from around the world will meet in Rome to discuss and debate on the subject: “Youth, Faith and Vocational Discernment”. Pope Francis chose this theme as he feels very strongly on the importance of addressing how the church helps and accompanies young people. Please keep the Synod in your prayers, that the Holy Spirit will guide the Bishops in shaping the future of the Church for young people.
