This October the Synod of Bishops on the Family is
scheduled to meet in Rome. The theme of the Synod
will be The Voca on and Mission of the Family in the
Church and Contemporary World. The Preparatory
Document is en tled Lineamenta.
Pope Francis has asked for a consulta on of the
faithful throughout the world. To assist us in this
process Fr. Mark O’Connell is offering an
informa on session.
The purpose of these evenings is to present the
church's teaching reflected in the Lineamenta
through teaching, discussion and a ques on and
answer period, and to assist those gathered to
prepare for their par cipa on in the parish
consulta on. The pastors of Dorchester are
discussing having one consulta on for all the parishes of Dorchester. For more informa on and reflecon please visit www.synod2015.org.
Reflec*on from Office of Planning
“Rising very early before dawn, he le3 and went off
to a deserted place, where he prayed.” Jesus knew
that he needed me alone in prayer. We do too but
some mes the pace of everyday life seems to crowd
out any “alone” me. Caring for children, parents,
and work responsibili es, leaves li"le me to go off
to a quiet place. With some effort, however, it is
possible to find opportuni es for prayer during the
day: in the car, with the radio off, or a prayer CD on;
on the T, praying rather than reading the paper;
folding laundry, in line at the coffee shop; or s rring
pasta sauce for dinner. These may not be deserted
places but they can be occasions for prayer that will
bear good fruit.
