Campus Ministry

SYNOD REPORT
Last spring, Campus Ministry invited students to participate in the Synod on Synodality, an extension of Pope Francis' invitation to the Universal Church. Synodality is an approach that requires journeying together through gathering, listening, and actively partaking in the Church's mission of evangelization and has been used by bishops to discern and decide about specific issues facing the Church in the past.

Campus Ministry hosted over 100 listening sessions, offering a safe space for students to share their unique experiences with the Church and at Notre Dame. Following these listening sessions, prevalent themes were identified and categorized into three areas:

• How students relate to self
• How students relate to institutions (Notre Dame and the Church)
• How students relate to "others"

Students are invited to read the report to learn more about the identified themes. Campus Ministry will continue to grapple with these topics and how this important process might inform our work of forming and engaging Notre Dame students in their lives of faith.

In partnership with the University, we offer this report to our campus community and the local Fort Wayne-South Bend Diocese to synthesize the conversations among our Notre Dame community. We hope to contribute the voices and experiences of young people in a university setting to the ongoing synodal process.

WORLD YOUTH DAY - ONE SPOT OPEN 
Every three years, the Pope calls young Catholics from around the world to gather to encounter the Lord. Campus Ministry currently has one open spot for a male, undergraduate student to join the Notre Dame delegation on this pilgrimage to World Youth Day.

The pilgrimage will take place from Saturday, July 29 to Monday, August 7 and costs $3,285. The week includes time to explore Lisbon, a day trip to Fatima, and six days of conferences, prayer, liturgy, and fellowship with new friends from Notre Dame and around the world. If you are interested, please email Kate Broadbent as soon as possible.  

PEER NEED TO TALK? 
Tuesday and Wednesday, 9 - 10:30 p.m., Coleman-Morse, Room 113
Come talk with a fellow peer, a trained student minister, about whatever is on your mind and heart this Lent. Whether it’s how you might grow in faith this Lent, choices, or relationships, it can be a huge help to have an outside perspective of someone who’s going through life on campus. Email Mary Catherine McDonald with questions.
