The 2023 Synod of Bishops begins here and in Rome in October
The XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops with the theme: for a synodal Church: communion, participation and mission commences in both the Vatican and in our Archdiocese this October.
Pope Francis has announced that the next Synod of Bishops, scheduled for October 2023, will not only be celebrated in the Vatican but in each diocese of the five continents of the world. This synod will follow a two-year process divided into three phases: diocesan, continental and universal. The synod will culminate with the assembly in October 2023 in Rome.
On October 10th 2021 in Rome, Pope Francis opened this two-year synodal journey with a time for encounter and reflection, followed by a moment of prayer and the celebration of the Eucharist.
The official opening of the synod in each diocese will take place on Sunday October 17th 2021. In the Archdiocese of St. John’s, Archbishop Peter Hundt will begin our synodal journey by presiding at a special 11:00 am Mass at the Cathedral-Basilica of St. John the Baptist, convening the local portion of the journey, announcing the steps that we will take on our journey, and inviting the participation of all. You may wish to attend this Mass at the Basilica, or join the livestream of the Mass at www.thebasilica.net.
More information will follow in next week’s bulletin, and in the Archdiocesan weekly catechetical resource, Living Faith.

Collection for the Needs of the Church in Canada:
Thank you for your ongoing support!
Each year, and with the generosity of Catholic faithful from coast to coast to coast, the Bishops of Canada continue their work on relations with Indigenous peoples, important doctrinal and ethical questions; ecumenical initiatives and interreligious dialogue; international relations; evangelization, faith education and catechesis; questions of social justice; responsible ministry, and the development of a culture of life and family. In addition to their national Conference, the Bishops of Canada also meet in four Regional Assemblies (Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario and the West). The CCCB and the regional assemblies include the Bishops of the Latin Church, as well
as the Eparchial Bishops of the Eastern Catholic Churches. On behalf of all Bishops of Canada, the Most Reverend Richard Gagnon, Archbishop of Winnipeg and CCCB President, shares his gratitude for the continued support of the Church’s pastoral mission through prayers, gestures of kindness, encouragement, and generosity. “On behalf of all Canada’s Bishops I would like to thank you for your ongoing support. May the Lord to extend his grace and love upon you and your loved ones.”

Covid19 update: (September 18, 2021)
As of September 19, 2021, the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador has made it mandatory that face masks be worn in indoor public spaces.
With the above in mind, the Archdiocesan COVID 19 Sub-Committee makes the following recommendations:- The wearing of masks is mandatory, in keeping with the guidance from Public Health, during liturgical worship, etc.
- Hand sanitizing and physical distancing of 2m/6ft must be maintained in our Churches. The number of people permitted to attend liturgy remains determined by the number of people who can safely be in the church while maintaining this physical distancing requirement. This means that there is no change to the maximum number of people permitted at worship in our parish churches.
- Contact tracing is now optional. However, parishes may wish to continue pre-registration for attendance at liturgies because it will help them regulate the number of people who can safely be in their buildings.
- Ushers need not direct people to their seats anymore, but they are still needed to oversee proper social distancing and the maximum number of people to be admitted to liturgies.
Rules are unchanged around the distribution of Holy Communion. The presider should still be masked during the distribution of communion for his own safety as well as the safety of the communicants. The hand sanitizing regime for the reception of Holy Communion remains in effect, as does the use of the single attestation.
Please see the Weekly Mass Schedule that appears on the right.The church doors will be open 1/2 hour before each Mass.
