As the pre-synod gathering on youth approaches, Vatican organizers are inviting young people around the globe to join in the discussion through Facebook groups in six different languages. All young adults ages 16-29 are invited to virtually participate in the pre-synod meeting. After being accepted into the Facebook group, people will have an opportunity to answers questions which will be summarized and presented to the Holy Father.
As reported by catholicnewsagency.com, A young Burundi woman living in Italy who will be a participant to the pre-synod gathering, remarked that “This is a step the Church is making to listen to all youth. It will give us an opportunity to say everything that we think. This is an opportunity that we must really take.”
The 2018 Synod of Bishops on Youth, Faith, and Vocational Discernment will take place this October, but a pre-synod meeting with 315 young people from around the world will take place in Rome from March 19-24, 2018.
