Recording the voices of God’s people for the Synod on Synodality
Over the past several months, Monsignor Patrick Pollard and I were responsible for synthesizing reports the Archdiocese of Chicago received in preparation for the Synod on Synodality. We worked with women and men representing a wide range of church participation, religious, ordained and members of the ecumenical community to collect the results of the consultation.

Cardinal Bernardin: ‘He was our pastor’
Amid remembrances of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, who made so many contributions to the global church and to the national political conversation, it could be easy to forget that he also was our bishop here in Chicago for 14 years.
