Synod of Bishops

Attention Parishioners: Pope Francis has made an effort to keep communication open with all Catholics through completing the Synod Survey. He has called for a “listening Church” and we’re ready to listen to your feedback. We have made it available in printed copy in the narthex. Please feel free to pick up a copy, complete it, and return it to the narthex or our parish office prior to Sunday, February 13^th. For questions regarding the Synod Survey, please contact Sarah Garcia at 865-200-9716 or Kate Harris at 386-846-4463. Thank you for assisting in this important Papal project. The survey is also available online at https://synodsurvey.org through January 31
