Members of the Synod focus team on Adult Faith Formation listen to Synod Director Rosemarie Banich at their first meeting.

Members of the Synod focus team on Adult Faith Formation held their first meeting Nov. 13 in the archdiocesan Pastoral Center. The first task: to group the many Synod listening session suggestions into several manageable categories, so that team members can study them and make concrete recommendations to the archbishop.

Members of the Synod focus team on Adult Faith Formation held their first meeting Nov. 13 in the archdiocesan Pastoral Center.

MIAMI Some - such as the one on the Social Mission of the Church - just began meeting. Others have already met for the second of their three scheduled sessions. But the bottom line is this: the work of the second archdiocesan Synod continues, now in a less visible, but no less active or important, stage: the focus team meetings. 

About 600 people are involved in these meetings, with 10 focus teams comprised of 20 to 40 members each. Here are pictures from a recent one. Look for more information in the coming weeks, online and in the print edition of the Florida Catholic.
