To ensure that every voice is heard and views are taken into consideration, the Vicariate synodal team has released a questionnaire.  All parishioners are requested to go to www.avona.org, follow Synod 2023, click on the parish you belong to and fill in the questions asked.  Rest assured, your responses will be kept confidential.    
Only by journeying together and reflecting together on the journey through listening and discernment rooted in the Holy Spirit, will the Church will be able to learn through Her experience.
