Young people are the future. Concerned about their feeling isolated from the Church and its teachings, CCRI has begun hosting online Small Communities for Young Adult Seekers to offer them a safe place to share their concerns and find support for the life issues they face. As an international and diverse group meeting twice a month on Zoom, these groups will be led by Alloys Nyakundi, a young man from Kenya who has received his Masters from Loyola University and trained to lead these gatherings. He is committed to assist each group in growing together and, if they choose, seeking to find their rightful place within the Catholic community. The next gathering is scheduled on July 21. These are the corresponding times for this gathering:

Post your synodal reports where others can read them

In the interest of openness and transparency in governance processes, CCRI is creating a platform for an open sharing of submissions to the synod office which Pope Francis has initiated. You are invited to send us a copy of your submission, be it from a parish group, a local community, a diocese, or a Small Christian Community that has responded to Pope Francis’s call to engage in the Synodal Process. We will post these on our website www.ThePeopleSpeakOut.org to make them accessible to all. To ensure submissions are authentic, we will only post those that are authored, i.e. include a name of an individual or group and location (city, state, country) of the submitters. We look forward to your sharing these for all to read.
