Veni Sancte Spiritus! Come Holy Spirit! Habemus Synodum! We have a Synod!
And Juventutem Twin Cities will be there, and we want you to voice your joyful support!
The Archdiocese of Saint Paul & Minneapolis is preparing to hold an Archdiocesan Synod in 2021, and in preparation the archdiocese will be holding listening sessions throughout 2019 and 2020. The Archdiocese will hear from the faithful of the archdiocese regarding the pastoral needs of the local church, both now and looking forward into the future.
This is our opportunity, as youth and young adult members of the archdiocese, and as joyful witnesses to Holy Mother Church, to voice our desires and our hopes going into the future.
This is why Juventutem Twin Cities is inviting youth and young adults to join us in advocating for the beauty, the depth, and the joy of Catholic Tradition - particularly supporting the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, the use of Latin in parish liturgies, and a more open and welcome atmosphere towards traditional forms of Catholic liturgy and worship.
Juventutem Twin Cities representatives will be present at general listening sessions and at special listening sessions for youth and college students. By signing our petition, you will your voice the the countless other youth and young adults who have found immense blessings in the Latin Mass and other traditional Catholic worship. We will bring these numbers with us to the listening sessions, and your support bolsters the unity and strength of our local church going forward into the future - a future of bold, joyful, and active young people engaged with the Faith and the Church, and seeking to bring Christ to more and more hearts!
(We at Juventutem Twin Cities want to note that we are actively committed to, and support, our local and universal church. We in no way oppose the use of the Ordinary Form of the Mass. We simply want to foster greater openness and unity among the faithful by advocating for the proliferation of the Extraordinary Form through the young people who also support it)
