Paul Jarzembowski, Assistant Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry at the USCCB, explains the ins and outs of the Synod, defining what it is and how the process unfolds week to week. Learning how the Synod works, and understanding the terminology of the Synod, the structure of the Instrumentum Laboris, and the way discussions happen in the Synod hall and small groups, helps us grasp the significance and importance of this necessary work happening in Rome and why it ultimately matters for us both right now and in the future.
