As the third week of the Synod of Bishops in Rome comes to a close, Cardinal Tobin shares his thoughts on an important topic discussed during the synod: the places where people encounter Jesus, with a focus on the parish. He notes that while parishes continue to be central locations for spreading the Good News, they have also adapted and changed in response to modern challenges.

Cardinal Tobin highlights that synodality encourages listening to others and discerning how individuals can bear witness to Christ. This approach is crucial in addressing the future of parishes, archdioceses, and the Church in the United States.
