Saint Olaf's Synod Evangelization Team invites you to Small Group Facilitator Training Saint Olaf’s Synod Evangelization Team members are moving on to developing the Small Groups we will offer at Saint Olaf early in 2024. If YOU are interested in serving as a leader/facilitator for a Small Group, contact Michael Griffin, MGriffin@SaintOlaf.org. Archbishop Hebda is asking each parish to begin or rejuvenate a small group ministry. Small groups are an important way to help ourselves, our family, and our friends to know, love and follow Jesus more closely and to live more joyful.

What is a Synod? What is the purpose?“A Synod is a formal representative assembly designed to help a bishop in his shepherding of the local Church.”The purpose is “to discern and establish clear pastoral priorities in a way that will both promote greater unity and lead us to a more vigorous proclamation of Jesus’ good news.”
Holy Spirit, renew your wonders in our time, as though in a new Pentecost, and grant that this Archdiocese, united in prayer around Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and guided by St. Peter, may spread the Kingdom of the divine Savior, a Kingdom of truth, of justice, of love, and of peace.Amen. Saint Paul, our great missionary patron, pray for us! CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE about the Archdiocesan Synod
Jesus desires to heal, renew, and unify the Church and the world. How will he do it? By uniting us once again around the source and summit of our faith - the Holy Eucharist. The National Eucharistic Revival is the joyful, expectant, grassroots response of the entire Catholic Church in the U.S. to this divine invitation.
