You are invited to read this document by visiting\u00a0www.synod.ie\/baptised-and-sent-preparatory-document-available-now\/<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide the conversations at Kilkenny, and those flowing from it, as we walk together as sisters and brothers of Christ, united by our baptism and filled with hope.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
