SynodYouthIf you are between 16 and 29 years of age, you can contribute to the next pre-synod Meeting to be held in Rome from 19 – 24 March. How? Through the site www.synod2018.va. From the site you will be able to sign up on the Facebook group under one of the  6 languages. Within these groups the members will have the chance to express their own ideas on the themes proposed by questions – that will “launch” the discussion of the youths present in Rome – each of which will be matched with a hashtag. In the end, a final document will be drafted with these ideas, containing the view points and proposals that emerged, and will be presented to the Synod Fathers who will gather in Assembly in October  2018 on the theme “The youth, faith and vocational insights.”
