We believe that policies and decisions should be informed by the experiences of the people most impacted by those policies and decisions. We advocate for peace and justice, and are guided by the Gospels, Catholic Social Teaching, and the experience of Columban missionaries and the communities they serve.
The Synod marks a turning point, a before and after of the Church. It is a ray of light that affirms hope in a time of great darkness.
