In the early months of 2022, the Diocese of Metuchen conducted numerous synod listening sessions supporting the synod process. These meetings were held in every deanery across the four-county diocese and by several groups, religious orders, and communities with in-person and virtual gatherings. The Diocese of Metuchen also implemented an online questionnaire that gathered hundreds of responses.
Many ideas and thoughts were expressed in the gatherings and written responses, and this report, submitted to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), is a synthesis of these.Read the ReportLea el Informe
