From 24 to 26 October 2025, the Jubilee of the Synodal Teams and Participatory Bodies will take place. This event marks a significant moment in the implementation phase of the orientations that emerged in the Final Document of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops. This event brings together around 2,000 members of synodal teams and participatory bodies (presbyteral councils, pastoral councils, finance councils, etc.) at the diocesan/eparchial, national and/or Church grouping levels from around the world.
The Jubilee represents the first collective moment of the implementation phase, aimed at translating the orientations of the Final Document into pastoral and structural choices consistent with the synodal nature of the Church. At the same time, the event seeks to acknowledge the valuable service carried out by these bodies and by the people who serve in them, situating the building of a more synodal Church within the horizon of the Jubilee’s hope.
Eva Fernández Mateo participates as Coordinator of FIAC/IFCA Secretariat.
Giuseppe Notarstefano participates as National President of Italian Catholic Action.
