In a world marked by rapid change, uncertainty, and complex challenges, the Church calls us to journey together as Pilgrims of Hope, discerning the path of Synodality with faith and courage. Inspired by St. Paul's words, "For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7), this year's theme invites both religious and laity to deepen their trust in God's guidance as we navigate the unfolding mission of the Church. At this pivotal moment, the Church embraces a Synodal way walking together in communion, participation, and mission. This journey challenges us to listen attentively to the Holy Spirit, to one another, and to the signs of the times, fostering a renewed spirit of hope amid trials and transformation. St. Peter's Pontifical Institute is pleased to offer an extension course focused on journeying together in the Church's synodal mission. The course aims to foster prayerful reflection, spiritual growth, and active engagement in discerning God's will in our changing world.
Join us as we embark on this journey not by sight, but by the unwavering light of faith.
