On June 24, 2022, Bishop O’Connell submitted the Final Report for the Diocesan Phase of the Synod, “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission,” to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The report notes that, from January through April, the Diocese conducted more than 800 group listening sessions involving nearly 4,500 people, with 64 parishes, 70 priests and 156 deacons having actively participated.

Thank you to the dozens of St. Anselm Parish Family members who opened their hearts to the Holy Spirit and shared their thoughts, hopes and dreams so honestly and thoroughly in this process.
