February: Getting the Word Out
In late February a mailing will be sent out with questions, based on the Vatican recommendations, which we feel it is important to consider. These will be for your reflection, prayer and response. You will be able to respond in several ways: either by returning your reflections to the office, responding online, or by attending a large group meeting. ALL RESPONSES WILL REMAIN ANONYMOUS.

March / April / May: Listening & Discussion Sessions
At the Listening & Discussion Sessions we will have time for prayer, small group discussion (and food!) These meetings will be held once a month in March, April and May. To help with discussions, we will ask individuals to train as small group facilitators.  

July: Reflecting on what we have learned
At the end of July our parish will reflect on what we have learned and all responses will be collated and sent to the Diocese. Again there will be total anonymity: they will know only that these come from “Holy Spirit Pocatello”, or “Pocatello”. The diocesan results will be sent on to the US Bishops.  

September or October:  Presenting a synthesis of our findings to the parish 

“The purpose is....to plant dreams draw forth prophecies and visions,
allow hope to flourish, inspire trust, bind up wounds,
weave together relationships, awaken a dawn of hope,
learn from one another, and create a bright resourcefulness
that will enlighten minds, warm hearts, give strength to our hands....”
Pope Francis

Welcome to the Journey!
