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.
