General Assembly on the Synod on the future of the church, to be held in Rome from October 4 to 29, 2023.
“The Assembly addresses the overarching question of the Synod: How does this “journeying together,” which takes place today on different levels (from the local level to the universal one), allow the church to proclaim the Gospel in accordance with the mission entrusted to her; and what steps does the Spirit invite us to take in order to grow as a synodal Church?
This work is based on what emerged from listening to the People of God as presented in the Instrumentum Laboris and the previous documents.”
What is the Instrumentum laboris (IL)?
It is the fruit of the discernment that began with the consultation of the People of God at the local level. The fruits of this consultation were collected at the diocesan level and then summarized and sent to the Bishops’ Conferences or Synods of the Eastern Catholic Churches. These then went on to Continental Assemblies.
Based on all the material gathered during the listening phase, and in particular the Final Documents of the Continental Assemblies, the Instrumentum laboris (IL) was drafted.
Our parish participated in the process in 2022 and the results are on our website!

Last weekend we joined with the Universal Church and began the Year of Eucharistic Revival with a Corpus Christi procession. The purpose of this year is to encourage Catholics to focus their lives on the Eucharist, its meaning and significance, and the life of Jesus.
“The Eucharist is the mystery of the almighty God’s presence among us, it is a mystery of our Creator’s love, the mystery that He decided to share His divine life, His intended friendship with each one of us,” said Archbishop Gomez. “We mean so much to Him that He offers His body and blood for us. We are worth so much that He would endure the pain of the cross and the shame of the cross so that we can live forever in the fire of His love.”
The strategic pillars of the Eucharistic Revival are:
- To foster encounters with Jesus through the proclamation of the Gospel and experiences of Eucharistic devotion.
- Contemplate and proclaim the doctrine of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist through the Truth of our teaching, Beauty of our worship, and Goodness of our accompaniment of persons in poverty and those who are vulnerable.
- Empower grassroots creativity by partnering with movements, apostolates, parishes, and educational institutions.
- Reach the smallest unit: parish small groups and families.
- Embrace and learn from the various rich intercultural Eucharistic traditions.
It is expected that parish activities in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles will culminate in the first National Eucharistic Congress on July 17-21, 2024, in Indianapolis: See
