We engaged over 150 catholic organizations, parishes and institutions in hosting educational gatherings, worship services, and opportunities to participate in the global Churchs synod process; these efforts reached an estimated 65,000 Catholics across the country. 1400 people participated directly in a spring educational workshop to advance the vision for a synodal, prophetic diaconate which serves those most in need. Hundreds of facilitators were trained throughout the year to host conversations in the spirit and dialogue sessions. Monthly prayer services helped to grow the leadership and community of this network of ministers who minister and support each other; over 400 people participated in 2024. We gathered case studies of women in ministry, educated participants in the global synod, answered their questions, and offered a ministry of prayerful accompaniment while the synod was underway in October, 2024. We led 55 pilgrims to Rome to be present to offer prayer, educational resources and support of the global assembly. We led an international delegation to meet with Pope Francis, to offer prayers and share our hopes.
