Výzva biskupa Tomáše k modlitbě za papeže Františka

V úterý 4. února 2025 proběhl v Liticích kněžský den, kde prezentoval mimo jiné P. Vlastimil Kadlec, OMI závěrečný dokument synody o synodalitě. V článku je vám k dispozici videonahrávka jeho vstupu i písemný podklad pro tuto přednášku.

Důležitou součástí diecézní synody jsou samotní delegáti. V Rokycanském vikariátu jsou to David Šašek za farnost Rokycany a Jindřich Zárobský za farnost Zbiroh. 

The January meeting of the synod delegates began with a joint celebration of the Eucharist. Afterwards, Bishop Tomáš presented the timeline of the II. synodal stage – which all delegates could comment on, and their suggestions will be incorporated.

The first stage of the diocesan synod has ended, and two more follow-up stages are ahead of us. We asked Bishop Tomáš Holub how he assesses the progress of the diocesan synod so far and what the plans are for the upcoming year.
