Cuba

Next October, the Pope will begin a three-year synodal journey divided into three phases (diocesan, continental and universal). The Catholic Church in Cuba is preparing to initiate a process in each diocese that will involve as many baptized as possible. The Cuban Conference of Religious (CONCUR), in coordination with the Conference of Catholic Bishops of Cuba (COCC) and the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM), is promoting throughout the Island a Listening Process with three worksheets to familiarize ourselves with the synodal style and prepare the itinerary that will begin in October. Listening to each other and paying attention to what God asks of us today is a challenge for our Church if we do not want to ignore this opportunity or corner it in a drawer of “beautiful projects” with very little relevance in daily life. This process is not simple or automatic, it requires spiritual dispositions and a conscious effort to seek God’s will among all. The tradition of the Church has two important clues that can guide us on this path: the desire to save the argument of others and the humility to learn from everyone.

The parish of San Judas Tadeo and San Nicolás de Bari had several members of the Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament and the four branches of Catholic Action.
