Church on Mission – Fruits of the Synod 2015-2020

The 2014 Synod called for by Archbishop Jerome E.

Pastoral Letter - ​WHO do you say that I AM?

 

Synodal Declaration (2014)  

In January 2013, Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki wrote his first pastoral Letter on ecclesiology which set the foundation for an Archdiocesan Synod. Parish sessions were held in the fall of 2013, followed by district gatherings in February of 2014 with the actual Synod held on Pentecost Weekend, June 6-8, 2014.

Following the Archdiocesan Synod, a new mission statement was issued for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. This mission statement guides our work for implementing the Synod initiatives:

To proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through his saving death and resurrection by calling, forming and sending disciples to go and make new disciples. As a people, we are called to encounter Jesus and grow as disciples through the sacramental life of the Church.

The Gift of Sunday

Two of the main priorities discerned at the 2014 Archdiocesan Synod were Evangelization and the Sunday Mass.  Archbishop Listecki has announced the Gift of Sunday Mass Initiative to reenergize our local Church and reconnect to top priorities from the 2014 Archdiocesan Synod. This plan's aim will be around Sunday Mass, the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and reclaiming Sunday as the Lord's Day. The foundation of this initiative is the Archbishop's theological reflection, The Gift of Sunday, which was published on January 25, 2021. The reflection is available online, along with a study guide for further discussion and reflection.  

Please wait while we gather your results.

Order of Catechists Video

On November 24, 2019, as part of the Closing Mass for the 175th Anniversary of the Archdiocese, Archbishop Listecki established the Order of Catechists to recognize and lift up the importance of catechetical leadership in the archdiocese. The Order of Catechists flows out of Synod priorities in the area Formation.
