SYNODAL GATHERING for YOUTH and YOUNG ADULTS | 7:30pm Friday September 22

Join youth and young adults from around the Archdiocese as we gather to pray together for the Church as we prepare for the Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops which begins on October 1. All are welcome to this celebration of Evening Prayer with the beautiful music of the ecumenical community of Taizé in France. In a special way, all youth and young adults are invited to participate. This prayer is part of a worldwide prayer vigil leading up to the next phase of the Synod. Find out more at together2023.net.

Following the prayer, youth and young adults are invited to gather in Cathedral Place Hall for a meal and an experience of synodality with Archbishop Etienne. Together, we share our own experiences and hopes for our Church, and reflect on how we can carry out our mission more effectively. The Archbishop wants to carry the voices of young people with him when he goes to Rome to participate in the Synod as a delegate.

Please come, pray, share, and experience what synodality is all about! All are welcome to join in the prayer.

Youth/young adults must register for the dinner and synodal gathering that follows by clicking here or paste the following into your browser: https://LN.archseattle.org/together

Here is a link—https://archseattle.org/partners/—to the videos that Fr. Wichert mentioned in Mass this weekend. Both videos are available in English and Spanish. The first video is one that we have already seen and is about 10 minutes long. The second video, about 23 minutes long, recently released and explains the reality of why Partners in the Gospel is necessary. Thank you for your continued prayers in this effort.

Why do we need Partners in the Gospel?
Today we face many realities that impact parish life and make it difficult to
fully live out our mission. This archdiocesan-wide renewal effort will help us
better support vibrant, sustainable, mission-focused parish communities
across the entire Archdiocese of Seattle.

What is Partners in the Gospel
Partners in Gospel is the next stage of the strategic pastoral planning effort
taking place across the Archdiocese of Seattle to re-invigorate and renew our local Catholic
Church. It will bring most parishes together into a new family structure with two or more
parishes. The pastor, parish leaders and parishioners will determine how this new family will
best join together to carry out the mission of the Church as one parish.

Partners in the Gospel Prayer
Gracious God, we praise and thank you for the Catholic Church in Western Washington.
We praise and thank you for the women and men who have shared the joy of the Gospel here
for more than 170 years.
Send your Holy Spirit upon us that we might encounter your Son anew and become more
effective partners in sharing the Good News of his saving love.
May our partnership in the Gospel empower us to be your missionary disciples, bringing the
Good News to all, especially to those who are marginalized or hurting in any way.
Give us the courage, the flexibility and the vision to renew parish life, so that the good work,
begun long ago, may continue among us, and one day, be brought to completion in your
Kingdom, where you live and reign for ever and ever.

Amen.
