Abstract

One of the international movements carried out by the Universal Church worldwide for Catholics throughout the world is Synodal or walking together which falls in October 2021. Over the next few years, Indonesian Catholics under the Indonesian Bishops' Conference held activities to meet with the people of God to mobilize the people to continue walking together with the shepherd and loving the Word in the celebration of the Eucharist. The aim of this Synodal socialization is so that all Catholics can understand and continue to walk together in the joys and sorrows of facing the demands of today's world and so that the pastors of the people remain faithful in serving and accompanying the people in all services. This activity is a follow-up to the Kupang Archdiocese Synodality which was carried out in the parishes, as part of the Universality Church which plays an important role in the growth of the faith of the people, where In October 2021, Pope Francis opened a three-year synodal journey with three stages (diocesan, continental and universal) in the form of consultation, prayer and discernment, which will culminate in the Assembly of Bishops, October 2023 in Rome. The results of this PkM made the people of St. Parish aware. Vincent A Paolo that Synodal is very meaningful and brings change to church life, people realize that "Everyone listens to other people, and everyone listens to the Holy Spirit" is the goal of walking together as one family in this world.
