From a series of springtime conversations in and among the Collaborative Pastoral Council, the staff composed and sent to the Cardinal our collaborative synodal report, which can be read HERE.
In addition, there are now available reports from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and from the Vatican. Titled National Synthesis of the People of God in the United States of America, the USCCB report is the result of conversations that occurred across the country with hundreds of thousands of members of the Body of Christ. And finally, the Vatican has released the summary of worldwide conversation, available online at US SYNOD HIGHLIGHTS.
The staff encourages you to read these documents. You can learn more about the Synod in general at the Vatican Synod Page (English)

Fr. Dan and the Collaborative Staff would like to thank everyone who helped make our Collaborative Picnic such a wonderful event!
Everyone who planned, cooked, grilled, wrangled ponies, face-painted, ran games, dished out ice cream, handed out food and drinks, DJ'ed, face-painted, welcomed picnic goers, prayed, brought a fire truck, set up tents, tables, and chairs, brought food and drinks, and helped clean it all up.
It takes a lot of people to make an event as great as this. Best picnic yet!
THANK YOU
