A Word of Gratitude

In September and October 2023, the Nominating Committee for the next bishop diocesan of the Diocese of Massachusetts conducted 23 listening sessions across the diocese and on Zoom, including lay and clergy affinity sessions for youth, Spanish speakers, people of color and the LGBTQIA+ communities. 

Thank you to all who participated in the listening sessions; your ideas, hopes and dreams for our diocese will help guide us in drafting a profile for our next bishop. Thank you to all the parishes that hosted the listening sessions and helped create space for reflective and prayerful sharing.
