What is the Synod on Race and Ethnicity in the Catholic Church?
It is: an opportunity to share and listen to parishioners’ experiences and suggestions on this topic within our network of St. John the Evangelist, St. Anthony’s and St. Kateri Tekakwitha Churches.
Scribes will anonymously record our comments and submit them to
the Bishop. Privacy will be respected at every step.

It is not: an interactive conversation on the subject. Opportunities for such dialogue will be offered at another time.

Here are the questions we will be considering:
1. What was the first time you were aware of the concept of race and/or ethnicity?

2. What are your disappointments or hurts about race and ethnicity in the Catholic Church?

3. What are your joys, what do you celebrate, about race and ethnicity in the Catholic Church?

4. What might we do to become a more inclusive Catholic Church?
