Synod on Synodality: Read the Diocesan Synthesis

After compiling input from more than 3,600 people, who, for the past months have gathered in parishes, schools, healthcare institutions, religious houses, private living rooms, and more, the Diocese of Pittsburgh has released results of the local phase of the two-year worldwide Synod on Synodality.  

The Diocesan Synthesis was compiled by a team of diocesan officials, with input from many of the faithful across the diocese. Bishop David Zubik approved the document, and it has been forwarded to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as part of the synodal process begun by Pope Francis in October 2021.

Emphasizing a need for listening, with a goal of reinvigorating the global Church, the Holy Father directed all dioceses to invite people from all walks of life to come together to share honest reflections of their faith experiences.
