Cardinal Tobin reflects on the third week of the Synod of Bishops

As the third week of the Synod of Bishops in Rome concludes, Cardinal Tobin reflects on a key synodal discussion: the places where we encounter Jesus, particularly the parish. While the parish remains a central space for proclaiming the Good News, it has also ‘stretched’ and evolved in response to today’s changing world. Cardinal Tobin emphasizes that synodality encourages us to listen to others, discern how we can be Christ’s witnesses, and address the future of our parishes, archdiocese, and the Church in the U.S.
