Adelaide Synod 2026

Synod Synod

Many voices one mission

The whole Archdiocese is invited to be involved with our Synod this year. The key stages of the process are Dialogue Week, beginning on February 22; the members’ retreat on March 14; the opening Synod Mass at the Cathedral on May 29; the First Session on May 30 and then Second Session on June 27.
